Recensies en Artikelen
"Eleven new case studies presented in this fine volume offer new research on the strength—and fragility—of [maintained and remade existing family] ties, and important insights into the family relationships of marginalised people eking out a subsistence living or having to forge new livelihoods in hostile new environments. A particular strength is its illumination for Anglophone readers of previously untranslated family history sources in Dutch, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portugese, Spanish and Latin."
- Helen Berry, Family & Community History, Vol. 24/1, April 2021
A number of the essays are extremely poignant, reminding us that when family members moved, willingly or not, both the individuals leaving and those left behind experienced profound loss. [...] These essays demonstrate the best methods of traditional family history and as well as the new directions transnational history is pushing it in. Together, they make an excellent case for the continued relevance and vitality of family history as a subdiscipline."

Keeping Family in an Age of Long Distance Trade, Imperial Expansion, and Exile, 1550-1850
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
Keeping Family in an Age of Long Distance Trade, Imperial Expansion, and Exile, 1550--1850 brings together eleven original essays by an international group of scholars, each investigating how family, or the idea of family, was maintained or reinvented when husbands, wives, children, apprentices, servants or slaves separated, or faced separation, from their household. The result is a fresh and geographically wide-ranging discussion about the nature of family and its intersection with travel over three hundred years -- a period during which roles and relationships, within and between households, were increasingly affected by trade, settlement, and empire building. The imperial project may have influenced different regions in different ways at different times yet, as this collection reveals, families, especially those transcending national ties and traditional boundaries, were central to its progress. Together, these essays bring new understandings of the foundations of our interconnected world and of the people who contributed to it.
