Each day, the most disparate ensemble of rag traders came together here, including migrants from different origins and of different religions. What kind of contact did they establish with each other? To answer this question, it is important to note that the rag trade resembled more a bazaar economy than a market economy. The Old Clothes Market, or Rag Fair as it was popularly known, was a risky environment for business. Under these circumstances, the merchants preferred to trade with parties whom they knew by reputation or from personal experience. They built client relationships which regularly cut across ethnic and religious divides. These relations, in turn, tended to transcend a merely economic rationale. In other words, the risks and uncertainties of trading at the Old Clothes Market turned out to be an incentive for forming interreligious relationships.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":"37 1","pages":"1 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2019.1647420","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44711671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Commercial hostelries were required, under successive Orders in Council, to register the movement of guests and supply these details to police authorities on state-mandated forms. This idea was new to the United Kingdom, where jurisprudence had upheld the right of guests to receive accommodation in anonymity. Exploring how institutions grappled with new regimes of surveillance, this article reveals how the British hotel’s relationship to the state and to guests of all nationalities changed dramatically in the course of war, with implications for the operation of the post-war hospitality sector.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":"36 1","pages":"199 - 231"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2018.1540933","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45442831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as this article argues, the responses which Belgians elicited locally, as well as the ‘quality’ and longevity of the memory culture surrounding them, were intimately tethered to ideas about and experiences of ‘place’ during the war and after. Exiled Belgians were almost uniquely positioned to communicate the totality of war as well as stand as silent representatives of the trauma of displacement. Yet, this case study of the North West county of Cheshire demonstrates how wartime tragedy with regional consequences, as well as a preoccupation with combatant internees and casualties, eclipsed the everyday reality and the post-war memory of the Belgians.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":"36 1","pages":"232 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2018.1536880","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43958084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
