New England's Generation: The Great Migration and the Formation of Society and Culture in the Seventeenth Century by Virginia DeJohn Anderson
New England's Generation: The Great Migration and the Formation of Society and Culture in the Seventeenth Century by Virginia DeJohn Anderson
In New England's Generation: The Great Migration and the Formation of Society and Culture in the Seventeenth Century, Virginia DeJohn Anderson discusses the Great Migration and its impact on the formation of colonial New England history. In help to explain why early seventeenth-century Massachusetts developed a society that was characterized by "town-based settlement, the predominance of freehold family farms, comparative economic equality, and a profoundly religious culture,” Anderson analyzes 693 immigrants who immigrated to North America from the Great Britain.
Barack Obama and the Immigration Debate: Super News
she argues that religious motives provide the best explanation of why people joined the Great Migration, she reinforces her point by showing that the vast majority of immigrants in her sample had achieved such a solid middling status in England that few could expect to improve themselves economically by migrating to Massachusetts.
In New England's Generation: The Great Migration and the Formation of Society and Culture in the Seventeenth Century, Anderson argues that the traits of her group, their communal ideals and the relative absence of very poor or very wealthy individuals in their ranks-contributed in fundamental ways to sustaining two of early New England's most unique social features: the emergence of a town-based settlement pattern and the adoption of a relatively egalitarian distribution of land.
Anderson also points out that the new society was not identical to the old. According to her, New Englanders became landowners and part-time farmers and adjusted themselves to the different environment in colonial New England. Regarding to the legacy of the Great Migration, Anderson believes that it influenced the intellectual climate of late seventeenth-century New England and created a sharp generational divide between those New Englanders who had come to the New World in the 1630s and the founders' children and grandchildren.
Generally speaking, I think New England's Generation: The Great Migration and the Formation of Society and Culture in the Seventeenth Century is a good book. For those who are interested in immigration and its influences on colonial Americans, it is worth of reading.

Jack P. Greene, Pursuits of Happiness: The Social Development of Early Modern British Colonies and the Formation of American Culture
Pursuits of Happiness: The Social Development of Early Modern British Colonies and the Formation of American Culture by Jack P. Greene
In this book , Jack P. Greene offers us two models in interpreting British colonization in North America and its impact on the formation of culture and society. According to Jack P. Greene, the Chesapeake colonies and New England offer American historians two models for describing English colonization; Greene calls them "developmental" and "declension." Virginia and Maryland began as male-dominated places where colonists "showed little concern for the public weal of the colony and routinely sacrificed the corporate welfare to their own individual ends"(p. 11).
The New England is a kind of declension model, which is very different from the Chesapeake area. Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, and New Haven were settled during a well-organized twelve-year period by intact families and kinship networks. "Although by no means disinterested in achieving sustenance and prosperity," Greene points out, "they put enormous emphasis upon establishing well-ordered communities . . . with a common religious ideology and a strong sense of communal responsibility" (pp. 22-23) and Greene seems startled only by their "astonishing deference" to religious leaders and magistrates (p. 25).
It seems that these two models are totally different. In Jack P. Greene's opinion, one is a materialistic, secular, competitive, exploitative, mobile, young, single, male, immigrant; the other is a traditional, religious, communal, egalitarian, rooted, millennial, patriarchal, family-centered, creole, and harmonious New England. Although "it is hardly possible to conceive how any two settlements composed almost entirely of Englishmen could have been much more different," (p. 27) American society and culture developed in terms of these two models. Jack P. Greene thinks that the Chesapeake developed and New England declined, which I think, is not exactly true.

For those who are interested in British colonization and its influences in North America, Jack P. Greene's book is very important for us to understand the development of early American history. Although I am not wholely agree with his arguments, I think this book is rather excellent.
Migration in the Atlantic World
Migration in the Atlantic World
Here are some books collected for those who want to do research on Atlantic migration.
Armitage, David and Michael J.Braddick ed. The British Atlantic World, 1500–1800 (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2002)
In this book, Armitage defines the concept of the Atlantic history from three perspectives, namely, transatlantic history, international history and regional & national history. These three dimensions are very essential for us to renew our understanding of the Atlantic history.
Anderson, Virginia. New England's Generation: The Great Migration and the Formation of Society and Culture in the Seventeenth Century (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991)
I always think Virginia Anderson's book is very good, although her book is not so original as Bernard Bailyn's The Peopling of the British North Amrica. Anderson examines the Great Migration in the 17th century and its impact on British Americans in creating their society and culture in New England. For those who are very interested in New England history in the 17th and 18th century, it is a book we should take a look at it.
Bailyn, Bernard. The Peopling of British North America New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1986.
Voyages to the West: A Passage of the Peopling of America on the Eve of the Revolution (New York: Knopf, 1986)
Bailyn, Bernard, and Patricia L. Denault, eds. Soundings in Atlantic History: Latent Structures and Intellectual Currents, 1500–1830. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2009.
Bailyn is absolutely the most important one for those who want to explore migration in the Atlantic world. Bailyn's book is very original and creative, although his discussion on the migration is too narrow and his method is too traditional. His books are still worth of reading.
