Antwerp (Belgium) - Economic conditions. 3. Labor and laboring classes - Belgium - Antwerp - History - 18th century. 4. Labor and laboring classes - Belgium - Antwerp - History - 19th century. This book constitutes the first thorough study of social dislocation in a major European city during the Industrial Revolution. It presents a penetrating analysis of the processes that caused the growth of a large, segregated impoverished proletariat in 19th century urban centres. Lis compares Antwerp with other Belgian towns and proves that poverty in this period cannot be related to the absence or presence of industrialization or modernization.
