This open access book uncovers one important, yet forgotten, form
of itinerant livelihoods, namely petty trade, more specifically how
it was practiced in Northern Europe during the period 1820-1960. It
investigates how traders and customers interacted in different
spaces and approaches ambulatory trade as an arena of encounters by
looking at everyday social practices. Petty traders often belonged
to subjugated social groups, like ethnic minorities and migrants,
whereas their customers belonged to the resident population. How
were these mobile traders perceived and described? What goods did
they peddle? How did these commodities enable and shape trading
encounters? What kind of narratives can be found, and whose? These
questions pertaining to daily practices on a grass-root level have
not been addressed in previous research. Encounters and Practices
embarks on hidden histories of survival, vulnerability, and
conflict, but also discloses reciprocal relations, even
friendships.
