This volume brings together essays by leading German and American historians on the subject of German emigration in the eighteenth century when Germans were moving to a variety of destinations: Russia, Prussian Lithuania, and various other German territories as well as North America.What drove men and women from different regional and social backgrounds to leave their homes during this time? Some migrations were forced, as for the Mennonites, the Salzburger emigrants, and the French Huguenots; some were voluntary and determined by the wish for one's own land and greater social and economic opportunity. In all groups, religion was a prominent motivator and primary element of social identification and cohesion. Inevitably, migrants carried with them traditional skills and other indispensable cultural "baggage." A key strength of this book is that contributors emphasize the mutual exchanges that occurred among cultures.

"Elemento servil" foi o eufemismo cínico para escravidão, com amplo emprego em publicações e discursos. A escravidão no Império do Brasil não era apenas um legado do passado, mas um projeto de futuro para o país independente. Foi recriada pelo pacto das elites, sancionada pela legislação, mantida pelo Estado. Também foi contestada em diferentes arenas. Ariel Pesso nos faz conhecer um espaço privilegiado onde a escravidão foi justificada e criticada: os Cursos Jurídicos de São Paulo e Olinda/Recife. Somos apresentados aos livros e aos lentes das disciplinas de Direito Natural e Economia Política, além de jornais acadêmicos que debatiam com ambivalência e contradição a "questão servil". Esse é um capítulo da história das "majestosas Faculdades" que finalmente começa a ser escrito, quando políticas de cotas ao ensino universitário ampliaram a representatividade de classe, raça e etnia do coletivo discente.
