Today's refugee 'crisis' has its origins in the politicalDSand imaginativeDShistory of the last century. Exiles from other places have often caused trouble for ideas about sovereignty, law and nationhood. But the meanings of exile changed dramatically in the twentieth century. This book shows just how profoundly the calamity of statelessness shaped modern literature and thought. For writers such as Hannah Arendt, Franz Kafka, W.H. Auden, George Orwell, Samuel Beckett, Simone Weil, among others, the outcasts of the twentieth century raised vital questions about sovereignty, humanism and the future of human rights. \u003cem\u003ePlaceless People\u003c\/em\u003e argues that we urgently need to reconnect with the moral and political imagination of these first chroniclers of the placeless\u003cbr\u003econdition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLyndsey Stonebridge \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Humanities and Human Rights at University of Birmingham.
