Recenzii
Among the many virtues of this book is its timely reminder that Western Europe, including Britain, was itself once a "land of camps," where people lived in limbo, often arriving from settlements elsewhere, and facing fluctuating resentment from their hosts. A striking array of people, with different relationships to Britain's imperial and wartime pasts, are assembled by Jordanna Bailkin. The reader encounters the full spectrum of those in flight.
Unsettled provokes scholars to reposition their focus by analysing camp settings as an integral and active part of the historical narrative, rather than as a dormant backdrop. Unsettled will undoubtedly remain a permanent fixture on reading lists across both the social sciences and humanities, and is key reading for anyone who is interested in the social and ethnic formation.
a singularly impressive contribution to 20th-century British history ... the appearance of Unsettled could not be timelier
