Migration Narratives in the Early Modern Mediterranean (1450–1850) is a collection of essays providing a fascinating insight into the migration experiences of different Mediterranean people who found themselves forced to leave their places of origin during the ‘long’ early modern period. The rationale behind migration – for religious, political, and environmental reasons – is the central theme around which the various chapters are organised, while a final section on gypsies allows the reader to explore the difference between mobility and migration. An original fresco of migratory trajectories and experiences composed through the soundness of the empirical work on which the chapters are grounded.
