This book is about the movements of Mediterranean people within their own region and beyond during the nineteenth century. Economic historians have done a lot of research to explain why 55 million Europeans left for the New World and what the effects were.1 Historians have described migration around the Mediterranean.2 Until now, the two strands of literature had not yet been brought together to provide a systematic explanation of the Mediterranean experience. Further, the flows of Europeans to the New World were so large that they have obscured the within-Mediterranean movements of many hundreds of thousands of French, Italians, Spaniards, Greeks, and Maltese to Egypt and to France’s North African colonies. Important patterns of regional seasonal labor migration are also lost, for example, Italian construction workers’ migration to Egypt.
