{"product_id":"swallows-and-settlers-thomas-gottschang-9780472038220","title":"Swallows and Settlers: The Great Migration from North China to Manchuria","description":"Between the 1890s and the Second World War, twenty-five million people traveled from the densely populated North China provinces of Shandong and Hebei to seek employment in the growing economy of China's three northeastern provinces, the area known as Manchuria. This was the greatest population movement in modern Chinese history and ranks among the largest migrations in the world. \u003ci\u003eSwallows and Settlers\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive study of that migration. Drawing methods from their respective fields of economics and history, the coauthors focus on both the broad quantitative outlines of the movement and on the decisions and experiences of individual migrants and their families. In readable narrative prose, the book lays out the historical relationship between North China and the Northeast (Manchuria) and concludes with an examination of ongoing population movement between these regions since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Gottschang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472038222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472038220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Thomas Gottschang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943335887103,"sku":"9780472038220","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0f0ef7f7-0079-47ef-bed9-6df8b7c7e3dc.jpg?v=1681497541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/swallows-and-settlers-thomas-gottschang-9780472038220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
