Movement and place in the African American past -- The transatlantic passage -- The passage to the interior -- The passage to the north -- Global passages.
Summary
Four great migrations defined the history of black people in America: the violent removal of Africans to the east coast of North America known as the Middle Passage; the relocation of one million slaves to the interior of the antebellum South; the movement of six million blacks to the industrial cities of the north and west a century later; and, since the late 1960s, the arrival of black immigrants from Africa, the Americas, and Europe. These epic migrations have made and remade African American life. This new account evokes both the terrible price and the moving triumphs of a people forcibly and then willingly migrating to America. Historian Ira Berlin finds a dynamic of change in which eras of deep rootedness alternate with eras of massive movement, tradition giving way to innovation. The culture of black America is constantly evolving, affected by (and affecting) places as far away from one another as Biloxi, Chicago, Kingston, and Lagos.--From publisher description.

The Scots who had moved to Ulster in Ireland suffered under economic and religious pressures, and many chose to emigrate to the American colonies in the years before the war for independence. In the colonies, they then faced economic, religious and cultural challenges as they adapted to the new land.
Contents
Chapters: 1 The transformation of Ulster society in the wake of the Glorious Revolution / 2. Crisis and community in Ulster / 3. Ulster Presbyterian migration 1718 - 1729 / 4. Settlement and adaptation in a new world / 5. Responding to a changing frontier / 6.Surveying the frontiers of an Atlantic world
Summary
"Drawing on a vast store of archival materials, The People With No Name is the first book to tell this fascinating story in its full, transatlantic context. It explores how these people -whom one visitor to their Pennsylvania enclaves referred to as 'a spurious race of mortals known by the appellation Scotch-Irish'- drew upon both Old and New World experiences to adapt to staggering religious, economic, and cultrual change...The book moves from a vivid depiction of Ulster and its Presbyterian community in and after the Glorious Revolution to a brilliant account of religion and identity in early modern Ireland. Griffin then deftly weaves together religion and economics in the origins of the transatlantic migration, and examines how this traumatic and enlivening experience shaped patterns of settlement and adaptation in colonial America. In the American side of his story, he breaks new critical ground for our understanding of colonial identity formation and the place of the frontier in a larger empire." [book cover]
