The Next Great Migration: The Beauty and Terror of Life on the Move

While more humans live in cities than ever before, there are also masses of people on the move. And it's not just people, as many different animal species flee from warming seas and drying lands. These poor people and creatures, searching for a home, often provoke fears of disease and conflict. This leads to anti-immigration rhetoric and empowers racism and the right wing. History tells a tells a different story, however, about the migration of animals, plants, and humans. It was migration that led to our species great achievements. The Next Great Migration argues that migration is not a disruptive behavior, but rather a lifesaving response to deadly and dangerous changes in circumstance.
