ABSTRACT In early Victorian times there was a notorious street market for old clothes located in the heart of East London’s Jewish quarter. 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.

that were caught between the categorisations, or racial identities that shifted geographically and temporally. Wills does flesh out the agency of immigrants well by avoiding heroisation and acknowledging negative portrayals. But, she also represents immigration as only ever a traumatic experience tainted by racism, exploitative landlords, and longing for home. She could have acknowledged some positive experiences that immigrants encountered or established during their relocation to Britain. The opening to the book is an extract from Ruth Glass, Newcomers (1960):

ABSTRACT The apparatus of the state expanded in unprecedented ways during World War I, with implications for longstanding practices and legal principles which governed the relationship between guests and staff within hotels and similar lodgings. 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.

ABSTRACT The First World War centenary has invigorated research into the Belgian refugee presence, especially at the local level. 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.

ABSTRACT This article assesses the historical links between the cities of Liverpool and Dublin in terms of Republic of Ireland-born player migration to Everton and Liverpool football clubs, the role of supporters’ clubs and the organisation of matches involving these clubs in Dublin. While Everton Football Club had initially been more closely linked to Dublin through the signing of Irish-born players, the organisation of friendly matches and the establishment of a supporters club in the Irish capital by the mid-1950s, it was not until the 1970s that Liverpool Football Club’s popularity in Dublin surpassed Everton’s through European success, Irish player recruitment and the organisation of friendly matches in the city.

Abstract This article demonstrates the ways in which some post-Second World War Latvian refugees maintained a sense of ‘cultural nationalism’ across two generations. Using object biography, I interweave the stories of the Apinis family and two weaving looms created in German Displaced Persons camps after the Second World War that are now in the collections of Museum Victoria and the Latvians Abroad: Museum and Research Centre. When the Australian-born daughter ‘returned’ to her parent’s homeland, she was forced to confront the gap between her family’s memories and the memories of people who had remained in Latvia after the war.

Abstract In September and October 2015, the story of detained Somali refugee ‘Abyan’ unfolded in the Australian media. A victim of rape on Nauru and seeking an abortion that could not be obtained on the island nation, Abyan was escorted to Sydney where she was to attend an abortion clinic. She was ultimately returned to Nauru without having had an abortion. This paper situates Abyan’s story alongside other stories from Nauru and in a longer history of reproductive coercion in Australian Immigration Department accommodation since the Second World War.

Abstract This article draws on oral histories from my PhD research to explore how six teenagers, now adults, remember their arrivals in Australia as child refugees from Bosnia. It examines their relationships with other people from Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia, including community groups, and how these relationships have changed over time. In examining these narratives, issues of intergenerational differences are highlighted, with interviewees positioning their experiences in relation to both their parents and their second-generation peers. Finally, it explores how former refugees maintain their relationships with family and friends in Bosnia, suggesting that these transnational connections provide them with as much familiarity and comfort as they do feelings of alienation.

Abstract This article explores the memory-making of descendants of post-war displaced persons from Eastern Europe now living in Australia. Their processes to uncover their parents’ wartime, refugee and settlement pasts are mediated through public and personal forums. Accordingly, this analysis is framed by a theory of post-memory, which considers the narrative effects of living in close proximity to (the sometimes concealed) stories of their parents’ displacement and family separation. This cohort search for a wider frame to articulate their parents’ pasts as Eastern European (mainly Polish and Latvian) refugees, which is lacking in public discussions around immigration to Australia. They complicate and in some cases undermine celebratory narratives of migration to Australia and of family settlement. On an intimate level, their parents’ experiences are deployed as a means to grapple with their alternative family structures and less-than-conventional childhoods within immigration centres or camps, which were influenced by discriminatory policy for non-British migrants, and single mothers in particular. When adopting a collective lens, these histories are projected onto wider historical understandings of the immigration scheme, which these descendants of displaced persons seek to complicate.
