Tiivistelmä
This volume is an excellent example of fruitful collaboration between American and European scholars in studying the Atlantic migration. By their very nature, migration studies require a dual perspective: that of the country of origin and that of the country of destination. The history of immigration has too often been written from an American point of view, slighting the importance of the European dimension. It was the genius of the conference on “The Finnish Experience” that it provided for the first time a comprehensive view from both sides of the Atlantic of this phenomenon. Its success provides migration scholars with a model for reconsideration of the migrations from other countries.
