Honderdvijftig jaar levenslopen
In the past hundred and fifty years the lives of Dutch men and women seem to have become more varied than ever. However, this doesn't mean that before this time their lives were uniform and unchanging. In this book leading scholars describe the lives and times of Dutch men and women born since 1850 and demonstrate/explain their individual differences. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.
Urban Lives
Through the lens of a Swedish industrial city, Landskrona, Urban Lives looks at economic and demographic change at the micro level to understand the societal transformations that profoundly changed people's lives during the twentieth century. Based an original data infrastructure, the book follows individuals across generations and situates them in their social, institutional, and environmental contexts. Chapter authors provide novel insights into the micro-level foundations of long term economic-demographic processes, and cover important research questions related to health, family, migration, and residential segregation.
Navigating Time and Space in Population Studies
Navigating Time and Space in Population Studies presents innovative approaches to long-standing questions about the diffusion of population and demographic behavior across space and over time. This collection utilizes newly-available historical data along with spatially and temporally explicit analytical methods to evaluate and refine core demographic theories and to pose new questions about mortality and fertility transitions, migration, urbanization, and social inequality. It adds a spatial dimension to the analysis of temporal processes and a temporal element to spatial processes. Chapters cover a broad range of geographical settings, including the United States, Europe, Latin America, an...
Rebellious Families
Why do people rebel? This is one of the most important questions historians and social scientists have been grappling with over the years. It is a question to which no satisfactory answer has been found, despite more than a century of research. However, in most cases the research has focused on what people do if they rebel but hardly ever, why they rebel. The essays in this volume offer an alternative perspective, based on the question at what point families decided to add collective action to their repertoires of survival strategies, In this way this volume opens up a promising new field of historical research: the intersection of labour and family history. The authors offer fascinating case studies in several countries spanning over four continents during the last two centuries. In an extensive introduction the relevant literature on households and collective action is discussed, and the volume is rounded off by a conclusion that provides methodological and theoretical suggestions for the further exploration of this new field in social history.

Een kleine orde met allure
In dit boek vertelt Brian Heffernan het verhaal van de augustijnen in Nederland. Eind negentiende eeuw bestond deze religieuze gemeenschap uit een handvol parochiepriesters. In de twintigste eeuw bleven zij ondanks groei een relatief kleine orde. Vooral hun inzet voor het middelbaar onderwijs gaf de augustijnen echter aanzien in katholiek Nederland. Heffernan bespreekt zowel hun externe werkzaamheden als hun interne gemeenschapsleven. Ook de schaduwkanten van hun optreden komen aan bod. De augustijnen zijn een kleine orde met allure. Zij waren zielzorgers en strijders voor de katholieke zaak, maar voelden zich op grond van hun oude traditie ook kloosterling en eremiet. In de jaren zestig beschouwden zij zich, zoals veel religieuzen, als brengers van vernieuwing, tegenwoordig vooral als dragers van de spiritualiteit van Augustinus. Deze verschuivende en soms botsende zelfbeelden vormen een kapstok voor het verhaal, waarin de voortdurende heruitvinding van de augustijnse identiteit centraal staat.
Infant and Child Mortality in the Past

The approach is interdisciplinary, with contributions from demography, biology, medicine, and economic and social history. The geographical range encompasses Europe, North America, Japan, and India.
Working on Labor
Using comparative and long-term perspectives the seventeen essays in this collection discuss the development of labor relations and labor migrations in Europe, Asia and the US from the thirteenth century to the present.
Building a Public Judaism
Nineteenth-century Europe saw an unprecedented rise in the number of synagogues. Building a Public Judaism considers what their architecture and the circumstances surrounding their construction reveal about the social progress of modern European Jews. Looking at synagogues in four important centers of Jewish life—London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Berlin—Saskia Coenen Snyder argues that the process of claiming a Jewish space in European cities was a marker of acculturation but not of full acceptance. Whether modest or spectacular, these new edifices most often revealed the limits of European Jewish integration. Debates over building initiatives provide Coenen Snyder with a vehicle for gauging...
'Op den akker des doods, waar allen gelijk worden ... '
Dit boek gaat over de Roermondse begraafcultuur tussen 1870 en 1940. Centraal staat de begraafplaats ?Nabij Kapel in ?t Zand?, waar in deze periode alle Roermondenaren hun laatste rustplaats vonden. De begraafplaats wordt onderzocht vanuit een sociaalhistorisch, cultureel-religieus en kunsthistorisch perspectief. Negentiende- en vroeg twintigste-eeuwse begraafplaatsen worden wel getypeerd als ?spiegel? van de samenleving. Als ?microkosmos? van de levende stad zou via hen het beeld van de stad uit het verleden kunnen worden opgeroepen. Maurice Heemels toont aan dat dit voor de Roermondse ?necropool? geldt. De sociale verschillen in de stad kwamen scherp tot uiting in de klassenindeling op de begraafplaats, in de begrafenisrituelen, en in de monumentale grafcultuur. Aan de uitspraak van Jacobus Craandijk dat op de begraafplaats 'allen gelijk worden', mag dus hooguit een symbolische betekenis worden toegekend.
