Centre For The Study Of Modern And Contemporary History

In this talk, Michael Goebel (Graduate Institute, Geneva) explores the prevalence of urban ethnic segregation in a range of port cities outside Europe in the period c.1870-c.1920. Amongst other things, he argues for a more complex and nuanced understanding of the spatial distribution of ethnic minorities in these cities. The talk is followed by a comment by Richard Rodger (Edinburgh). This is a recording of an event hosted by the CSMCH in November 2018.
