Refuge in the Land of Liberty: France and its Refugees, from the Revolution to the End of Asylum, 1787-1939

Burgess, Greg

This book examines changing responses towards refugees in modern France through French legal, intellectual, political and social history. Critical questions framed debates and policy: whether individuals had a natural human right to receive asylum and whether refugee policy was a matter for national government, or international agreement.
