	H-Net Review: Jorg P. Vogele on Population and Society in Western European Port Cities, c. ...
		This includes key features of the demographic profile of port cities (including mortality, nuptiality, and fertility as well as in-migration as a central variable of port city growth), their local economy and labour market, their social conditions, as well as the ideology of merchant capital.
		As a consequence of this function, port cities were invariably prone to an increased risk of exposure, particularly to infectious diseases.
		Even where ports benefitted from a diversification in their employment structure, the dependence on raw material imports remained and the new industrial sectors were characterized by a low technological level.

	AHRC Parkes Centre
		Jewish settlements in port cities were vital to the development of modern Jewish history and culture so their origins and development are integral to all aspects of modern Jewish studies, although their distinctive character has been noted by only a few scholars (such as Salo Baron and David Sorkin).
		These case studies will include port cities for which research has already been undertaken, some for which research is in progress, and others for which research will be initiated as part of the project.
		It will investigate whether port cities engendered a pattern of Jewish/non-Jewish relations distinctive from those found in other cities, their role in the transformation of Jewish society, and the part played by Jews in creating the characteristic economic and cultural milieux associated with maritime trading centres.

		While some of the old port cities grew during the stock market boom of the 1990's, since 2000, their population has generally either been falling (as in Boston, Baltimore, Chicago and San Francisco) or growing relatively slowly (as in New York) in comparison with places like Fort Worth and Phoenix.
		Of the major cities, the ones with the smallest ratios of children to adults are all on the water: San Francisco, Seattle, Honolulu, Boston and Portland.
		The port cities originally became bastions of the Democratic Party by appealing to upwardly mobile families whose money came from factory jobs in the booming urban centers.

		Dubin further proposes that the "port Jew" be extended to describe "port Jewry"--a particular type of Jewish community existing at the historical nexus between maritime commerce, utility, and culture.
		Sorkin is especially wary of disassociating the concept of "port Jews" from the historical problems of modernization that he originally intended the concept to illuminate, including the distinctive process(es) of Jewish emancipation.
		In the end, Cesarani concedes that while the "port Jew" aptly describes certain historical phenomena, "more research is needed to uncover and understand the dynamism and the precise ligaments that articulate the history of city ports with Jewish history and culture" (p.

	Kegan Paul: Publishing the World
		The Asian continent has a maritime tradition spanning as far back as the third millennium BC, and its port cities have for centuries had a social and cultural character radically different from those on the shores of the Atlantic.
		The authors explore these cities as links to each other and to the outside world, as meeting grounds of indigenous and overseas cultures and as the stageposts for struggles of expansion, imperialism, and colonialism.
		Reflecting on both the influences of modernization and Westernization and the impact of traditional, inland cultures on the development of these cities, Gateways of Asia is a significant chapter in the understanding of multicultural interaction over history, from the vantage point of the contemporary global village.

		Doubtless all sides, including Port Kar, regarded the risks as too great; doubtless all sides, including Port Kar, were content with the stable, often profitable, situation of constant but small-scale warfare, interspersed with some trading and smuggling, which had for so long characterized their relations.
