La acogida de los niños de la guerra en Bélgica (1937-1939): Instituciones y sociedad civil
La idea de acoger niños de la Guerra Civil española en Bélgica nació en los grupos de la sociedad civil que reclamaban una solidaridad efectiva con la República en peligro frente a un gobierno paralizado por la política de no intervención. En el caso belga, la iniciativa fue fundamentalmente privada, fomentada por personalidades o asociaciones vinculadas a los partidos políticos o a la Iglesia, y el Estado hubo de adecuarse a posteriori para gest…

Private property or enemy property: How parliament confiscated the property of the stateless of German origin in Belgium (1918–21)
During the First World War, statelessness erupted suddenly – an anomaly at a time when nations were fighting each other at gunpoint. The stateless of German origin in Belgium discovered their legal status to be a resource to oppose claims on them by the German (and Belgian) state. After the First World War, the Belgian state took revenge on the Germans in their midst by confiscating their private property. This article discusses whether the prope…
Love at second sight: Remarriages in Turkish and Moroccan communities in Belgium
This paper provides insight into remarriages amongst Turkish and Moroccan Belgians. Although the issue of remarriage is of particular relevance, given the rising divorce rates that have been observed amongst these groups in recent decades, it remains largely understudied. We examine remarriage rates and patterns of partner choice in second marriages, taking into account partner-choice patterns in first marriages. We analysed data from the Belgian…
Partner selection patterns in transition: The case of Turkish and Moroccan minorities in Belgium
The majority of Turkish and Moroccan minorities in Western Europe prefer transnational marriages over local co-ethnic and mixed marriages. Recent studies indicate partner selection patterns might be shifting after remaining unchanged for decades. However

These two publications are dedicated to the history of the first generation of labor migrants from Turkey, who arrived in Western Europe in the 1960s. Mazyar Khoojinian examines the recruitment of seventeen thousand Turkish workers to Belgian mines during the 1960s, while Jennifer Miller analyzes how the immigration of Turks to West Germany created, redefined, and reconstructed borders. She focuses on borders between East and West Germany and bet…
Divorce in Turkish and Moroccan Communities in Belgium
Arbeidsmarkt van de Belgische mijnen in de twintigste eeuw: Inleiding op het themanummer
De paradox met betrekking tot het enorme belang van de steenkoolnijverheid in de ontwikkeling van Belgi enerzijds en de late aandacht van politieke, sociale en economische historici voor deze nijverheid anderzijds, is al eerder genoteerd (1) . Wellicht zijn ook andere nijverheden onderbelicht in de geschiedschrijving, zoals de bouw, de chemie of de voeding, maar zij wogen niet zo zwaar als de mijnsector in de ontwikkeling van het land. Dit gewich…
Hoe de Belgische mijnindustrie een nieuw thuis aan vluchtelingen-mijnwerkers aanbood (1947-1951)
Cet article analyse l’arrivée de 21.906 réfugiés de l’Europe de l’Est dans les mines belges. Ils étaient recrutés dans les camps de réfugiés gérés par l’organisation internationale des réfugiés en Allemagne occupée, afin de répondre aux besoins de main-d’oeuvre dans l’industrie minière belge. En même temps, les autorités belges promettaient aux réfugiés «une vie libre et normale » en Belgique. Cette tension entre les deux objectifs – le recruteme…
Red Aid, a Non-Accommodating NGO Challenging the Power of West-European States to Deny Protection to Undeserving Refugees, 1933–1935
This article outlines how a refugee policy took shape in the liberal countries bordering Nazi Germany during the first half of the 1930s. In Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Czechoslovakia and Switzerland, immigration policy had become much more restrictive by 1933 when the refugees from Germany applied for asylum and the necessity for a ‘side entrance’ for asylum seekers to these countries became apparent. The focus here is on the role of the C…
Partner Type Attitudes of Parents and Adolescents: Understanding the Decline in Transnational Partnerships among Turkish Migrants in Flanders
This article describes an unprecedented decline in transnational partnerships among Turkish migrants in Flanders, using population data on all marriages between 2001 and 2008. Studying parental preferences regarding partner selection, we examine attitudinal mechanisms behind this decline. Based on a representative survey, our first result is that (direct) parental involvement in partner selection is lower among the more recent marriage cohorts. S…

Partner Choices in Long Established Migrant Communities in Belgium
This paper aims to shed light on the partner choices of Moroccan, Turkish, Congolese, and Algerian migrants in Belgium. Three partner choices are distinguished: marrying a partner from the country of origin (partner migration), marrying a local co-ethnic partner, and establishing a mixed marriage. We focused on the role of migration history and transnational links, culture (religion, language), skin colour and structural characteristics of the di…

Jews or Germans? Nationality Legislation and the Restoration of Liberal Democracy in Western Europe after the Holocaust
Statelessness continues to trouble today's international legal and political spheres. Despite the International Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, the stateless remain an unwelcome presence and awkward anomaly within an international human rights regime still fundamentally dominated by the nation state structure. In 1945, Marc Vishniak wrote that the stateless were “... restricted in their rights more than any other people an…
Female Domestic Servants as Desirable Refugees: Gender, Labour Needs and Immigration Policy in Belgium, The Netherlands and Great Britain
The immigration policies adopted by Western European states during the interwar period were marked by increasing restriction, especially after 1933. One notable exception to this was the relatively generous treatment afforded to women who were prepared to take up employment as domestic servants. This article looks at the reasons behind this anomaly and compares the responses of three states that were in the front line of the refugee efflux from G…
Refugees From Nazi Germany and the Liberal European States
The exodus of refugees from Nazi Germany in the 1930s has received far more attention from historians, social scientists, and demographers than many other migrations and persecutions in Europe. However, as a result of the overwhelming attention that has been given to the Holocaust within the historiography of Europe and the Second World War, the issues surrounding the flight of people from Nazi Germany prior to 1939 have been seen as Vorgeschicht…

East European Jewish migrants and settlers in Belgium, 1880–1914: A transatlantic perspective
This article analyses whether the Jews leaving Tsarist Russia and the Austro‐Hungarian Empire, part of the transatlantic mass migration of the end of the nineteenth century, became subject to state control. Most emigrants from Eastern Europe in this period passed through the ports of Bremen, Hamburg and Antwerp. In the 1880s only a few emigrants were not welcome in America and sent back to Europe, but economic competition and the supposed health …
