Through a comparative framework, the collection explores how political exile and refugee experiences were shaped by factors such as race, gender, class, and ideology, highlighting differences in border control and settlement policies between the British metropole and colonial territories. Case studies cover diverse topics including asylum practices in Victorian Britain, responses to Jewish refugees, and the impacts of forced migration on communities like Liverpool’s Chinese population and Chiot refugees in the empire. The volume emphasizes both the challenges faced by displaced groups and their resilience, offering valuable historical context for contemporary migration debates. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2026 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
