1. Faced with the dilemma of fixing a start date for what we would today call a globalized world, or, as he put it, “the interlocking networks of human interaction that extended across each of the two still separate hemispheres,” Eric Wolf, Europe and the People without History (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1982), 24–25, chose 1400 as the point when it could be said that “wide-ranging linkages among populations” were firmly established. Migration in the Americas began before the European conquest, if not with the movement of Asians across the Bering Strait.

In my own interviews in Zacatecas and Veracruz, respondents referred to the “contagion” of migration, which led many who in the past would have put aside money or even sold off land to see their children through high school to dedicate those resources instead to sponsoring migration.
