Inventing the Refugee Crisis
Refugee and forced migration studies scholars largely ignore the early modern period when they discuss modern refugee crises, thus overlooking the transhistorical, cultural origins of refugee identity formation.

As the name suggests, the French state outlawed Calvinists, forced them to clandestinely worship, and expelled many from the kingdom and empire altogether. In this article, I suggest that Calvinists played a role in the concurrent French Enlightenment despite their legal margin…
