This book focusses on the instruments, practices, and materialities
produced by various authorities to monitor, regulate, and identify
migrants in European cities from the sixteenth to the twentieth
centuries. Whereas research on migration regulation typically looks
at local policies for the early modern period and at state policies
for the contemporary period, this book avoids the stalemate of
modernity narratives by exploring a long-term genealogy of
migration regulation in which cities played a pivotal role. The
case studies range from early modern Venice, Stockholm and
Constantinople, to nineteenth- and twentieth-century port towns and
capital cities such as London and Vienna.
