{"product_id":"pushes-and-pulls-why-do-people-migrate-9780778751984","title":"Pushes and Pulls: Why Do People Migrate?","description":"This intriguing book explores the reasons why people migrate: pushes - involuntary migrations - and pulls - voluntary migrations. The different causes include: population density or lack of resources; colonization and empire building; independence from colonization, population transfer, and ethnic cleansing; the slave trade and human trafficking; war or natural disasters; religious, racial, or cultural prejudice and persecution; and to find work. Historical migrations examined include: the very first human migrations out of Africa and the gradual spread of humans around the world; the rise and fall of the Roman Empire; the slave trade; the relocation of Native Americans; migrations due to drought and famine in Africa; migrations linked to the wars in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Iraq; the Irish potato famine; the migrations of Jews around the world; and the \"Great Migration\" of African Americans from the south to the north.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crabtree Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780778751984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 8.00w x 0.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010 pg. 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e136032 \/ Pushes \u0026amp; Pulls: Why Do People Migrate?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robert Walker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43040210485429,"sku":"9780778751984","price":10.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2181ea8f-bf49-4756-8817-026b955e6d0c.jpg?v=1689086975","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/pushes-and-pulls-why-do-people-migrate-9780778751984","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
