abstract="Between 1846 and 1940, more than 50 million Europeans moved to the Americas in one of the largest migrations in human history, irrevocably changing both their new homes and the ones they left behind. In this grondbreaking study, Tara Zahra explores the deeper story of this astonishing movement of people - one of the largest in human history. As villages emptied and the fear of depopulation ran rampant, anxiety over ``American fever'' existed alongside the promise of a brighter social and economic future. On both sides of the ocean lives were transformed by these decades of mass departure.",
