The livelihood of all those who lived by the work of their hands was highly insecure. This book considers the 'labouring poor' not simply as victims, but as actively pursuing a whole range of strategies for survival. These strategies included many economic activities. Building and maintaining networks of kinship and neighbourhood was equally important, as was negotiating support from institutions. Sometimes, strategies were successfully integrated within a household, while in other instances the domestic group was split and members preferred to pursue individual strategies. This illuminating book examines the European past using case studies from present-day situations in Asia and Africa.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHousehold strategies for survival: an introduction Laurence Fontaine and Jürgen Schlumbohm\u003cbr\u003e Negotiating a living: Essex pauper letters from London, 1800–1834 Thomas Sokoll\u003cbr\u003e 'It is extreme necessity that makes me do this': some 'survival strategies' of pauper households in London's West End during the early eighteenth century Jeremy Boulton\u003cbr\u003e Using microcredit and restructuring households: two complementary survival strategies in late eighteenth-century Basrcelona Montserrat Carbonell\u003cbr\u003e Poor Jewish families in early modern rural Swabia Sabine Ullmann\u003cbr\u003e Industrious households: survival strategies of artisans in a Southwest German town during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries Dennis A.
