In 2000, Patrick
Manning, now Director of the World History Center at the
University of Pittsburgh developed a Migration in Modern World
History, 1500–2000 CD-ROM, providing the field with a much-needed tool for
scholarship and teaching about this central issue in world historical studies.
Teachers of Advanced Placement courses were put on notice in 2008-2009 by the
College Board's program for Advanced Placement in World History that Migration was
its "Special
Focus" for that year. Such special focus notifications are, as AP World History
consultant Monica Bond-Lamberty of Northwood High School in Silver
Springs, Maryland has reminded us, of great import. She noted that the Indian
Ocean in World History was the 2006-2007 special focus topic and the 2007-2008
focus was the Silk Road. Both topics have appeared on the examination. With
such general agreement as to this issue's significance, instructors and
students may well be able to put the following web resources to good use.
