520    "Nothing set the world in motion like gold. Gold rushes 
       accelerated the global circulation of people, goods, 
       capital, and technologies that transformed settler 
       societies around the world. Yet, they are rarely 
       considered in a global perspective. While in the past 
       national histories have emphasized the role of gold rushes
       as accelerants of state formation, crucibles of national 
       character, and watersheds of political development, the 
       essays in Gold Rush begin from a different premise. They 
       explore gold rushes as connected phenomena and emphasize 
       the destructive power of the search for gold on indigenous
       communities and the environment, and their role as 
       incubators of racial hierarchy and immigration 
       restriction. The essays in Gold Rush showcase the best and
       most current research methodologies in global history - 
       comparative, environmental, and transnational - to address
       these concerns. Gold Rush uses diverse themes and places 
       as vantage points on the nineteenth century gold rushes - 
       from the catalytic effect of the discovery of California 
       placer gold in 1848 to the nostalgic rush to the beaches 
       of Nome, Alaska, fifty years later; from anxious 
       commentators discussing the public good and disorder of 
       gold mining in Georgia, California, and Victoria to the 
       worldwide discussion of the "Chinese Question" and the 
       productivity of non-white labor in Africa; from the 
       assertion of corporate control over lode mining to the 
       destructive environmental and financial consequences of 
       that control. At the heart of this book is the paradoxical
       power of gold rushes to connect and divide, to enrich and 
       impoverish, to create and destroy"--Provided by publisher.
