This is the first comprehensive treatment of a problem of staggering proportions. There have always been homeless people but only in the twentieth century have refugees become an important part of international politics, seriously affecting relations between states. Since the 1880s, the number of dislocated persons has climbed astronomically, with people scattered over vaster distances and for longer periods of time than ever before. Marrus traces the emergence of this new variety of collective alienation. While a considerable portion of the book is devoted to the dislocations of the Nazi era, the volume covers everything from the late nineteenth century to the present, encompassing the Armenian refugees, the Jews, the Spanish Civil War emigres, the Cold War refugees in flight from Soviet states, and much more. The book shows not only the astounding dimensions of the subject but also depicts the shocking apathy and antipathy of the international community. "A fine book on a difficult subject which will preoccupy governments and nations for many years to come."--Walter Laqueur, The Washington Post Book World "Impressively researched and written."-- Library Journal Traces the emerging consciousness of a refugee phenomenon since the 1880s. It also examines how international responses formulated in the 1920s changed and evolved under the impact of subsequent refugee problems.
