Trade ReviewFrank and Reinisch’s excellent collection draws together some of the key historians and current leading research on refugee history ... It also answers the editors’ question posed in their introduction – do academic historians matter? When they produce such rich, nuanced and authoritative accounts of the past as this, then surely the answer is ‘yes’. * Refugee History *
A very well-produced, well-edited and well-written volume. Crucially, it works as an edited volume, with the individual chapters speaking both to each other, and the overall theme of the book. It deserves the attention of any scholars interested in the history of forced displacement and migration. * European History Quarterly *
