The history of migration from prehistoric man's first steps out of the Rift Valley to the present-day exodus from Syria, and the effects migration has had on language and culture, artistic and scientific advancement throughout history. While recognizing that distinctions between categories are often fuzzy, Migration covers many types of migrants including explorers, slaves, pilgrims, mineworkers, laborers, exiles, refugees, students, tourists, retirees and expatriates. Cohen covers a long span of history and many regions and themes, giving context and color to one of the most pressing issues of our time. The text is supplemented by a series of vivid maps, evocative photographs and powerful graphics. Migration is present at the dawn of human history ? the phenomena of hunting and gathering, seeking seasonal pasture and nomadism being as old as human social organization itself. The flight from natural disasters, adverse climatic changes, famine, and territorial aggression by other communities or other species were also common occurrences.

When eleven-year-old Langston's father moves them from their home in Alabama to Chicago's Bronzeville district, it feels like he's giving up everything he loves. It's 1946. Langston's mother has just died, and now they're leaving the rest of his family and friends. He misses everything -- Grandma's Sunday suppers, the red dirt roads, and the magnolia trees his mother loved. In the city, they live in a small apartment surrounded by noise and chaos. It doesn't feel like a new start, or a better life. At home he's lonely, his father always busy at work; at school he's bullied for being a country boy. But Langston's new home has one fantastic thing. Unlike the whites-only library in Alabama, the Chicago Public Library welcomes everyone. There, hiding out after school, Langston discovers another Langston -- a poet whom he learns inspired his mother enough to name her only son after him.

Publisher Annotation: The wind blew in a girl and her clan, where herds of mammoths still wandered the frozen tundra. It later blew a boy and his family across frigid waters, and they spread across the new land. Over time, the wind continued to disperse newcomers from all directions. It blew in men who hoped to find gold, and slave ships, and immigrant families. And so it continued, for generations and generations. Here is a moving and tender picture book that beautifully examines centuries of North American history and its people.

"A collection of . . . stories drawn on the front lines of migration by . . . artist George Butler. For thousands of years humans have moved around the world, to seek a better life, to flee disaster or to escape war. Migration is a fact of life but it is hugely misunderstood . . . Butler introduces us to the people behind the headlines. Drawings made on front lines, in refugee camps and on the move . . . capture stories of leaving home, travelling into the unknown and trying to make a new life. These . . . portraits of migration are a timely reminder of the humanity we all share and our universal need to seek safety and a better life"--OCLC.
