Book Description
Some sixty-five years after 750,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homeland, the popular conception of Palestinian refugees still emphasizes their fierce commitment to exercising their "right of return." Exile has come to seem a kind of historical amber, preserving refugees in a way of life that ended abruptly with "the catastrophe" of 1948 and their camps—inhabited now for four generations—as mere zones of waiting. While reducing refugees to symbols of steadfast single-mindedness has been politically expedient to both sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict it comes at a tremendous cost for refugees themselves, overlooking their individual memories and aspirations and obscuring their collective culture in exile. Refugees of the Revolution is an evocative and provocative examination of everyday life in Shatila, a refugee camp in Beirut. Challenging common assumptions about Palestinian identity and nationalist politics, Diana Allan provides an immersive account of camp experience, of communal and economic life as well as inner lives, tracking how residents relate across generations, cope with poverty and marginalization, and plan––pragmatically and speculatively—for the future. She gives unprecedented attention to credit associations, debt relations, electricity bartering, emigration networks, and NGO provisions, arguing that a distinct Palestinian identity is being forged in the crucible of local pressures. What would it mean for the generations born in exile to return to a place they never left? Allan addresses this question by rethinking the relationship between home and homeland. In so doing, she reveals how refugees are themselves pushing back against identities rooted in a purely nationalist discourse. This groundbreaking book offers a richly nuanced account of Palestinian exile, and presents new possibilities for the future of the community.

Book Description
Studies on exile in the 19th century tend to be restricted to national histories. This volume is the first to offer a broader view by looking at French, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Czech and German political refugees who fled to England after the European revolutions of 1848/49. The contributors examine various aspects of their lives in exile such as their opportunities for political activities, the forms of political cooperation that existed between exiles from different European countries on the one hand and with organizations and politicians in England on the other and, finally, the attitude of the host country towards the refugees, and their perceptions of the country which had granted them asylum. Sabine Freitag is Research Fellow at the German Historical Institute in London. Rudolf Muhs is Lecturer in German History at the University of London (Royal Holloway).

Book Description
Kirsty Carpenter puts a human face on the victims of revolutionary legislation. London had the largest community of émigrés. It had the most evolved social structure and was the most politically-active community. It was in London that two cultures came face-to-face with their prejudices and were forced to confront them.

Book Description
This book examines changing responses towards refugees in modern France. The study of the principle of asylum and the treatment of refugees from the French Revolution until the years immediately after the Second World War offers a broad sweep through French legal, intellectual, political and social history. Critical questions framed debates and policy: whether individuals had a natural human right to receive asylum, whether refugee policy was a matter for national goverment, or whether asylum was determined by international agreement.

FOREWORD A French refugees papers, business records and personal letters yellowed by time and blackened by fire but yet alive, formed, some years ago, the inspiration for this study. The search for similar and relevant material, in public and private collections along the Atlantic seaboard, soon marked its inception. Its completion today is the fruit of that search and has been facilitated by the kindness of many people, to all of whom my thanks are due. They go in the first place to the history department of Columbia University for the SchiflE Fellowship which made possible much of the necessary research and very specially to Professor Carlton J. H. Hayes and Professor John A. Krout under whose guidance this study has been written. To librarians and assistants in many eastern libraries, particularly the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, the Boston Athenaeum, the American Philosophical Society, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the John Carter Brown Library in Providence, where Mr. Lawrence Wroth has been exceptionally kind, I am indebted for valuable aid in finding rare and forgotten material and for clues to still further treasures. I am likewise indebted to the descendants of the French revolutionary exiles, especially MissElizabeth Keating, for a welcome of the Old World in its grace and of the New World in its warmth, and for permission to see and use their family re cords. Miss Louise Beaman, Mrs. Avery Claflin and Miss Beulah Parker have given me friendly and patient assistance in the tedious tasks of typing, translating and editing, Mrs. Ernest Tracy in the difficult one of proofreading they all deserve my sincere thanks. Last but by no means least I wish to express my gratitude to Professor Gilbert Chinard of Princeton University for stimulating and generous assistance and for the opportunity to publish this study under the aus pices of the Institut Frangais de Washington., T T1 J XT - r, FRANCES S.
