The conclusion comes back to the great variety of case studies and approaches present in this volume. It proposes a discussion on writing transnational history of Victorian migrations, as well as questions such as whiteness and labour migrations. It shows how combining micro- and macro-history, as well as a great variety of sources, and different levels of analysis can both unveil and question the exceptionality of Victorian migrations. This conclusion ends with a discussion challenging the construction of Victorian migrations as migration “crises.”
