Vilhelm Moberg was born in 1898 in a tenant soldier’s croft at the edge of a small village called Moshultamåla, located in the southern part of the heavily forested, lake-dotted province of Småland.
Moberg became involved in politics at an early age as a member of the newly formed Young Socialist club at the glassworks and later in the Social Democratic Party’s youth club.

Moberg's The Emigrants humanizes and personalizes the migration of Swedes to America through a description of the passage of rural farm folk who travel together on the difficult passage to New York in 1850.
Although the characters are chosen to show the disparate economic and religious reasons for emigration, Moberg never lets the need to tell a universal story stand in the way of the imperative to tell the story at hand.
Moberg understands the economic and spiritual needs that drive his characters to the voyage, but the Emigrants foreshadows that both economic and spiritual challenges await the travellers at their destination.
