Wat hebben rederijkerskamers van Zuid-Nederlandse migranten, de Lutherse kerk, Duitse zangverenigingen, informele netwerken van illegalen en Ghanese kerken met elkaar gemeen? Welke functie hebben migrantenorganisaties vervuld in de integratie van nieuwkomers in Nederlandse steden, in het bijzonder in Amsterdam? Fungeerden organisaties vooral als bastion of eerder als bindmiddel? Het zijn dit soort vragen die centraal staan in deze bundel en die bovendien licht werpen op een algemenere problematiek, namelijk in hoeverre integratieprocessen in het heden afwijken van die in het verleden? Is het zo dat – wat velen geneigd zijn te denken – hedendaagse migranten anders (lees slechter) integreren dan vroeger? Amsterdammer worden wil een bijdrage leveren aan deze problematiek door migrantenorganisaties als invalshoek te nemen. De reden om juist dit thema bij de kop te pakken, is onder meer omdat organisaties allerlei sporen hebben nagelaten, zowel in archieven als in de vorm van gebouwen en gedrukte werken. Tot slot worden deze formele verbanden vergeleken met informele netwerken van uiteenlopende groepen als illegale migranten en migrantenondernemers.

A panoramic picture of international politics and the formation of the modern State The opposition to the omnipotence of the State – as symbolised by Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan (1651) – had a significant impact on the political organisation of European society. A liberal strategy intended to provide a protective legal status for individual citizens, whereas a social strategy aimed to strengthen the social fabric to counterbalance the power of the State. Gradually both strategies became interwoven. The Struggle with Leviathan pays special attention to the social strategy, developed by conservative and ecclesiastical circles against the omnipotence of the State, and is structured around the fascinating biography of the Austrian diplomat Gustav von Blome, a grandson of Metternich and an important opponent of Bismarck. He proved to be a transitional figure between aristocratic conservatism and Christian democracy, which had a great influence on European integration after 1945. Besides Blome, several other dramatis personae – statesmen, prelates, political and social activists – are featured. As a result the book reads like a compelling narrative. At the same time, it offers a broadly sketched historical fresco of international politics and the gradual formation of the modern State. The original Dutch edition of this book, Het gevecht met Leviathan, has been highly praised in the Dutch and Flemish press, and was awarded the biennial international Arenberg Prize for European History and Culture.

In the wake of England's break with Rome and gradual reformation, English Catholics took root outside of the country, in Catholic countries across Europe. Their arrival and the foundation of convents and colleges on the Continent as attracted scholarly attention. However, we need to understand their impact beyond that initial moment of change. Confessional Mobility, therefore, looks at the continued presence of English Catholics abroad and how the English Catholic community was shaped by these cross-Channel connections. Corens proposes a new interpretative model of 'confessional mobility'. She opens up the debate to include pilgrims, grand tour travellers, students, and mobile scholars alongside exiles. The diversity of mobility highlights that those abroad were never cut off or isolated on the Continent. Rather, through correspondence and constant travel, they created a community without borders. This cross-Channel community was not defined by its status as victims of persecution, but provided the lifeblood for English Catholics for generations. Confessional Mobility also incorporates minority Catholics more closely into the history of the Counter-Reformation. Long side-lined as exceptions to the rule of a hierarchical, triumphant, territorial Catholic Church, English Catholic have seldom been recognised as an instrumental part in the wider Counter-Reformation. Attention to movement and mission in the understanding of Catholics incorporates minority Catholics alongside extra-European missions and reinforces current moves to decentre Counter-Reformation scholarship.

The reputed wealth and benevolence of the Portuguese Jews of early modern Amsterdam attracted many impoverished people to the city, both ex-Conversos from the Iberian peninsula and Jews from many other countries. In describing the consequences of that migration in terms of demography, admission policy, charitable institutions—public and private—philanthropy and daily life, and the dynamics of the relationship between the rich and the poor, Tirtsah Levie Bernfeld adds a nuanced new dimension to the understanding of Jewish life in the early modern period.
