Reflecting debate around hospitality and the Baltic Sea region,
this open access book taps into wider discussions about reception,
securitization and xenophobic attitudes towards migrants and
strangers. Focusing on coastal and urban areas, the collection
presents an overview of the responses of host communities to guests
and strangers in the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, from the
early eleventh century to the twentieth. The chapters investigate
why and how diverse categories of strangers including migrants, war
refugees, prisoners of war, merchants, missionaries and vagrants,
were portrayed as threats to local populations or as objects of
their charity, shedding light on the current predicament facing
many European countries. Emphasizing the Baltic Sea region as a
uniquely multi-layered space of intercultural encounter and
conflict, this book demonstrates the significance of Northeastern
Europe to migration history.
