Settlement and the Law in the Seventeenth Century -- Double Deterrence: Settlement and Practice in London's West End, 1725-1824 -- Poor Relief, Settlement and Belonging in England, 1780s to 1840s -- Memories of Pauperism -- Belonging, Settlement and the New Poor Law in England and Wales 1870s-1900s -- Citizens But Not Belonging: Migrants' Difficulties in Obtaining Entitlement to Relief in Switzerland from the 1550s to the Early Twentieth Century -- Overrun by Hungry Hordes? Migration and Poor Relief in the Netherlands, Sixteenth to Twentieth Centuries -- Agrarian Change, Labour Organization and Welfare Entitlements in the North-Sea Area, c. 1650-1800 -- Settlement Law and Rural-Urban Relief Transfers in Nineteenth-Century Belgium: A Case Study on Migrant's Access to Relief in Antwerp -- Trajectories of German Settlement Regulations: The Prussian Rhine Province, 1815-1914 -- Afterword: National Citizenship and Migrants' Social Rights in Twentieth-Century Europe.
"The issues around settlement, belonging, and poor relief have for too long been understood largely from the perspective of England and Wales. This volume offers a pan-European survey that encompasses Switzerland, Prussia, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Britain. It explores how the conception of belonging changed over time and space from the 1500s onwards, how communities dealt with the welfare expectations of an increasingly mobile population that migrated both within and between states, the welfare rights that were attached to those who 'belonged, ' and how ordinary people secured access to welfare resources. What emerged was a sophisticated European settlement system, which on the one hand structured itself to limit the claims of the poor, and yet on the other was peculiarly sensitive to their demands and negotiations"--Provided by publisher.
