OK. People are on the move for a myriad of reasons. But, there are just as many effects when they arrive. 6.6 was all about why these people were on the move. 6.6 is about the effects. Most of what’s covered here is about the types of labor the immigrants are doing or the discrimination they face. The labor was manual. It was hard work on cash crops, mines, railroads, etc. These are jobs the immigrants would do for a cheaper cost. Arrival in large numbers, working tough jobs, and moving into cities is no way to make friends with the locals. These groups (seen in the arrows on the map) tended to stick together in Enclaves that can still be seen today in Chinatowns et al. Many countries (most notably South Africa, USA, and Australia) tried to pass laws and quotas on how many people could arrive from certain places in the world (most notably China). Without these migrations, the world would look very different (and, in fact, you would probably live in a different place than you do right now… maybe).
