| | Reflections on the Meaning of the Great Migration |
 | | The migration had a greater "refugee" component, as thousands of rural black Southerners were forced off the land by the mechanization of cotton cultivation (especially the harvest). | | | Later migrants usually followed the migration trail established by family members who had gone before. | | | Known as the Great Migration, this unprecedented social movement re-shaped the American cultural and political landscape. |

| | While the bulk of that gain (an estimated 9,731 people) was in the metro counties, the 87 rural counties experienced a positive net migration of 1,153 people in that key age group. | | | "The state's most rural counties experienced higher rates of negative net migration than others," he wrote. | | | That, Scheideler said, reverses the negative net migration trend over the past two decades for the state's working population. |

| | Fly Away - The Great Migration |
| | During the first Great Migration, from1916 to 1919, nearly 70,000 African Americans migrated from the rural south to northern cities, in search of freedom, better lifestyles and working conditions. | | | In African-influenced voodoo art, the bird is an emblem of the mind, symbolizing "ashe," or "the-power-to-make-things-happen." Encompassing all of these beliefs, The Great Migration became the first successful attempt of African Americans to collectively seize control over their destinies. | | | Although each group provides a potential lens through which to study The Great Migration, the concept of space serves as a unifying theme. |

| | Journal of Social History: Bound for the Promised Land: African American Religion and the Great Migration. - Review - book reviews |
| | Before the onset of the Great Migration, according to Sernett, few elites understood that black rural religion could and would animate a mass exodus of African Americans out of the agricultural south into the heart of urban-industrial America. | | | Building upon the recent explosion of scholarship on black migration, Sernett situates his study within the larger context of socioeconomic, political, and cultural changes that existed in the rural and to some extent the urban south on the eve of the Great Migration. | | | Popular and scholarly interest in the Great Migration soared. |

| | The migration for survival denotes the extreme economic and social hardships faced by labourers in rural areas to whom migration becomes an outlet as a part of their strategy for survival. | | | Other reasons which cause the migration are failure of land reforms, depletion of resource base for tribals, high rates of population growth in the rural areas, increase in the proportion of landless labourers and lack of adequate expansion of non-farm employment. | | | This is, however, not the case in certain occupations in which family migrations is cheaper for the employer. |

| | The counter-trend in the 1991 and 1993 rural out-migration figures must have been due to the return to their homes of those who were displaced by war. | | | This subject includes three types of human migration in modern Iran: (1) migration within the country; (2) immigration of foreign nationals to Iran; and (3) emigration of Iranians to foreign countries. | | | Hence, all conclusions concerning population movements based on these figures have been treated within the context of the effects of the Iran-Iraq war on migration trends in Iran during the period. |

This turmoil, however, was not simply confined to the East or North, or even to urban centers. | | | Beginning in the 1890s and lasting well into the 1970s, a "Great Migration" of southern blacks to the West and North changed the demographic structure of the nation. |

| | This movement, often called the "Great Migration," would ebb and flow until the 1970s, shifting the center of gravity for African-American culture from the rural South to the urban North. | | | The Great Migration was not something that happened to Americans; it was something that Americans made happen. | | | Frequent notices referring to people leaving towns and cities, along with front-page articles about the exodus, suggested to readers that migration was less an individual act than a group experience. |

| | Voluntary Emigration of Bhutanese Citizens |
| | The refugee community insists that there has been no instance of "voluntary" migration from Bhutan, and that people have been compelled to leave the country due to direct physical abuse, coercion, threats, harassment and intimidation. | | | The procedure for "voluntary" migration begins with the filling up of printed emigration forms conveniently made available to the villager by a considerate local administration in a language that the alleged emigrant does not comprehend. | | | On the basis of a case filed with the court on behalf of the alleged emigrant by the district administrator on 27/12/91, the entire process investigation, land measurements, "compensation" etc. is completed and the Agreement signed on 31/12/91; this in rural setting where delivery of every letter implies a day's walk for the office messenger. |
