The different causes include: population density or lack of resources; colonization and empire building; independence from colonization, population transfer, and ethnic cleansing; the slave trade and human trafficking; war or natural disasters; religious, racial, or cultural prejudice and persecution; and to find work. Historical migrations examined include: the very first human migrations out of Africa and the gradual spread of humans around the world; the rise and fall of the Roman Empire; the slave trade; the relocation of Native Americans; migrations due to drought and famine in Africa; migrations linked to the wars in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Iraq; the Irish potato famine; the migrations of Jews around the world; and the \"Great Migration\" of African Americans from the south to the north.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crabtree Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45029267374231,"sku":"9780778751830","price":1454.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780778751830.webp?v=1769203585","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pushes-pulls-why-do-people-migrate-9780778751830","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
