Summary: "The English have been on the move globally since about 1600. For almost 200 years, they have been a significant migration flow into New Zealand, yet relatively little has been written about their experiences. This book brings together leading international scholars and prominent local researchers to explore a wide range of topics and issues at the very heart of research into human mobility. Why did English-born people decide to emigrate? What factors shaped their migration and adaptation? How might we best describe and explain their experiences? This collection of essays will interest anyone interested in migration and/or family history." --Back cover.
