História ambiental e migrações
"Por muito tempo, a migração e o meio ambiente foram vistos como dois domínios (reinos) completamente distintos. Isso também se refletiu no trabalho dos historiadores, com um diálogo tão escasso entre historiadores da migração e historiadores ambientais. Assim, com este volume, Nodari, Moretto e Gerhardt, organizadores da obra, oferecem uma contribuição notável para moldar o campo emergente da história ambiental das migrações. E o Brasil, com sua rica mistura de ecologias e culturas, é o estudo de caso perfeito. Em tempos de muros, cercas de arames farpados e crise ecológica, um volume como este é a explicação perfeita de por que a história (e ainda mais a história ambiental) é importante.

Environmental History of Modern Migrations
In the age of climate change, the possibility that dramatic environmental transformations might cause the dislocation of millions of people has become not only a matter for scientific speculation or science-fiction narratives, but the object of strategic planning and military analysis. Environmental History of Modern Migrations offers a worldwide perspective on the history of migrations throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and provides an opportunity to reflect on the global ecological transformations and developments which have occurred throughout the last few centuries. With a primary focus on the environment/migration nexus, this book advocates that global environmental changes are not distinct from global social transformations. Instead, it offers a progressive method of combining environmental and social history, which manages to both encompass and transcend current approaches to environmental justice issues. This edited collection will be of great interest to students and practitioners of environmental history and migration studies, as well as those with an interest in history and sociology.
