Collective histories and broad social change are informed by the ways in which personal lives unfold. This book examines individual experiences within such collective histories during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. "The use of longitudinal historical data created by linking individual-level information in two or more large-scale databases is a relatively new technique to study patterns of social and geographic mobility. The chapters in Lives in Transition draw on census material from Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand and, as a result, scholars from an array of countries will be able to see firsthand how this technique can generate new and interesting lines of historical and sociological inquiry." Vic Satzewich, Department of Sociology, McMaster University.
