This is a fascinating work, as well as a sad commentary (at least in sections) on man's inhumanity to man. Broken down into sections covering such topics as human migrations (ten pages), voluntary migrations (40 pages), and major diasporas (25 pages), the atlas also covers general characteristics of migrations and provides a glossary. The black-and-white maps are clear, with scale and projection given; there is more text than maps, but in this case that's understandable, because each map has separate commentary. Other than G. Ghaliand and J.P. Rageau's Atlas des diasporas (1991), there seem to be few similar works. For general reference collections and map collections.
