Recenzii
“Remarkable. . . . The greatest strength of this book is its historicization of the origin point of the idea of universal rights—and the incapacity of the geopolitical structure of nation-states to guarantee them.”—Jessica Choppin Roney, Diplomatic History
2024 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title
“Janet Polasky unearths an unappreciated history of the experience of asylum in Europe and the United States since the Age of the Democratic Revolutions. Facing squarely the destruction of asylum in our own time, she ends with a stunningly optimistic vision of a path toward its reconstruction.”—Linda K. Kerber, author of No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies
“Janet Polasky not only expertly depicts the life of French émigrés in the cosmopolitan cities of Hamburg and Altona during the Revolution, but she explores the asylum dilemmas that confront the world today.”—Kirsty Carpenter, Massey University
“Janet Polasky weaves a compelling history from the human experiences of political refugees who found temporary welcomes in the ‘small spaces’ of European states, in port cities, in Brussels, and the Swiss cantons. Her stylish prose deftly captures a historical moment suspended between Enlightenment cosmopolitanism and emergent nationalism.”—Mary Lindemann, University of Miami
