Adam McKeown
Adam M. McKeown (1965–2017) was a historian of transnational migration. Biography Born in San Francisco, McKeown earned his PhD in history at the University of Chicago in 1997. His dissertation, later published as ''Chinese Migrant Networks and Cultural Change'', studied Chinese migrants in Chicago, Peru, and Hawaii, and highlighted the transnational networks developed by migrant flow. In his view, the relevant points of reference were not “China” or “the United States", for instance, but particular villages and district, “nodes” of transit in Hong Kong, San Francisco, and Singapore, and the sophisticated "credit system”. In his important 2004 article "Global Migration, 1846–1940," McKeown showed Asian migration was comparable to its contemporary transatlantic migration. His later monograph ''Melancholy Order'' looked at border control as historically resulting from the attempt to control Asian migration in the 1880s. McKeown taught at Northeastern University ...

Frederick Cooper (historian)
Frederick Cooper (born on October 27, 1947 in New York City) is an American historian who specializes in colonialization, decolonialization, and African history. After finishing his BA at Stanford University in 1969, Cooper received his Doctor of Philosophy from Yale University in 1974. From 1974 to 1982 he was Assistant, then Associate Professor at Harvard University. Becoming Professor of History at the University of Michigan in 1982, he left for a professorship of history at New York University where he has worked since 2002. Cooper initially studied the history of labor and of labor movements in East Africa, but later moved on to broaden his scope to embrace francophone West Africa as well. Though a firm base in social and polit-economical history is a constant of his works, one characteristic of Cooper's approach to history is a strong concern with epistemological questions and the possibilities and limits of knowledge production, as can best be seen in his articles on glo ...
