{"product_id":"remembering-refugees-tony-kushner-9780719068836","title":"Remembering Refugees: Then and Now","description":"Refugee crises are one of the gravest problems facing the modern world. This book explores the paradox of why countries such as Britain pride themselves on their past treatment of refugees yet are suspicious and hostile towards asylum seekers trying to gain entry. It explores the contemporary treatment and representation of refugees ranging from the Huguenots in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries through to the many groups that have gained entry more recently. Was the treatment of refugees such as Jews escaping Tsarist and later Nazi persecution as welcoming as politicians and others now make out? Why have some groups been remembered positively, whilst others have been forgotten? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRemembering refugees plays particular attention to how historians and those in the heritage industry have dealt with the refugee presence. By adopting an original and critical framework, it asks why a variety of academic disciplines, as well as politicians, the media and the general public, have difficulty with refugees. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA richly textured book that utilizes a huge range of sources from parliamentary debates through to novels, films and autobiographical writing, it argues that the current panic about refugees and asylum seekers says more about the moral failings of contemporary society than it does about those fleeing persecution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Kushner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719068835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719068836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.17h x 6.40w x 0.82d","brand":"Tony Kushner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45476861935871,"sku":"9780719068836","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cec16462-1b8e-48a7-8058-aa298a8049d1.jpg?v=1715918374","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/remembering-refugees-tony-kushner-9780719068836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
