Studying migration from a household perspective means a great leap forward in historical migration research, but it also has its disadvantages because it focuses predominantly on free migrations. Forced migrations, by the state or other third parties, and therefore not primarily resulting from family strategies, are almost always ignored. This is unjustified, however, because coerced forms of migration can also be determined by family decisions, at least to some extent. Think for example of households (in debt) that sold children or other family members to outsiders in order to survive, as was the case during the Ming dynasty in China in the sixteenth century (Hofmeester and Moll-Murata, 2011), Cross-cultural migrations in Europe since 1500 21 or Christian families in the Ottoman Empire who had to hand over one of their (young) sons to be enlisted in the (elite) Janissary corps (Ágoston, 2005).

If in fact we employ Leo and Jan Lucassen’s definition of migration as a cross-cultural movement, we can easily admit that the more distant the cultures that come into contact are, the more impressive the impact of migrations on societies will be. In the past, there are numerous examples of migrations that entail a great “distance” of cultures, the insertion of African slaves into America being perhaps the most prominent one, but in general most migrants belonged to the same basic European culture, although interpreted in a variety of ways.
