History is another country and might be full of fascinating incidents and places to go visit - but as a destination for emigration, it has some problems!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
History in its broadest aspect is a record of man's migrations from one environment to another.
What I love about the stories of the Great Migration is that this is not ancient history; this is living history. Most people of color can find someone in their own family who had experienced a migration of some kind, knowing the sense of dislocation, longing and fortitude.
Countries and places have a history, a story, and a culture.
Emigration, forced or chosen, across national frontiers or from village to metropolis, is the quintessential experience of our time.
I feel like history is about going and discovering the great human stories that just are every bit as relevant as anything that's going on today.
The business of return migration is a phenomenon that historians have indeed begun to look at, but it is rather an ignored and underplayed story and one that we need to know more about.
History often reads as a hard and grim experience. But people are remarkably resilient and funny, even when the going is very hard.
Emigration is always a difficulty.
If some countries have too much history, we have too much geography.
A great emigration necessarily implies unhappiness of some kind or other in the country that is deserted.
