Geographies of Migration
Push Factors: Religious Execution, War, poverty, lack of jobs
Pull Factors: Economic opportunities, more jobs, better living quality
Voluntary Migration:
Forced Migration: movements of Africans to North America through the Atlantic
Slave Trade.
Atlantic Slave Trade: European slave traders would go to Africa and purchase
slaves, then they took those slaves (along with gold and other materials) and
went back to Europe and sent some to the Caribbean and other parts of North
America. The slaves would produce raw goods (mainly sugar and tobacco),
and those goods became important to early industrialization in England.
Diaspora: Many people from one origin scattered into many different places.
Rohingya fleeing Myanmar: nearly one million Rohingya Muslims are being
forced out of Myanmar by military force and persecution. They are travelling to
neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia.
Australia’s NO WAY campaign: meant to combat human smuggling, many see
it as a heavy-handed response to asylum seekers.
*Anti-refugee rallies have spread across Europe, often stating opposition to
“religious extremism” but using nationalist and xenophobic images and
languages.
