{"product_id":"chains-of-gold-marcelo-borges-9789004176485","title":"Chains of Gold: Portuguese Migration to Argentina in Transatlantic Perspective","description":"Why did migrants from southern Portugal choose Argentina instead of following the traditional path to Brazil? Starting with this question, this book explores how, at the turn of the twentieth century, rural Europeans developed distinctive circuits of transatlantic labor migration linked to diverse immigrant communities in the Americas. It looks at transoceanic moves in the larger context of migration systems, examining their connections and the crucial role of social networks in migrants' geographic mobility and adaptation. Combining regional and local perspectives on both sides of the Atlantic, Chains of Gold provides a vivid account of the trajectories of migrant men and women as they moved from rural Portugal to contrasting places of settlement in the Argentine pampas and Patagonia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcelo Borges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004176489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004176485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.06h x 9.49w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 83","brand":"Marcelo Borges","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799127699711,"sku":"9789004176485","price":194.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chains-of-gold-marcelo-borges-9789004176485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
