The Financial Lives of Antwerp Immigrants, 1850-1940.
Abstract
The project analyzes the different forms of formal and informal finance used by immigrants in Antwerp between 1850 and 1940 to better understand the financial opportunities and threats they experienced after settling in their new home country. In doing so, it builds a bridge between two fields of inquiry – migration history and financial history—which have been worlds apart until now.Researcher(s)
