A survey of place on the early colonial frontier
The 1801 voyage of the HMS Lady Nelson to the Hunter River in New South Wales is an example of early colonial explorations into the spaces beyond Port Jackson's fringe. Planned as a survey of the river to determine its suitability for settlement, the records of Lieutenant James Grant and Lieutenant-Colonel William Paterson and other expeditionists tell us what they observed, how they assessed the river and the land around it, identified its resou…
The Ligue des Droits de l'Homme and the ‘Right to Life’ in the 1930s
This article examines the debates within the French Ligue des Droits de l'Homme on the adoption in 1936 of a Complément (Complement) to the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. The Ligue questioned the relevance of the 1789 Declaration when social dislocation, economic distress and fascism challenged democracy. New rights, principally the ‘right to life’ ( droit à la vie ), the fundamental right from which all others flowed, wer…
Online censorship and digital surveillance
Using country- and multi-level analyses, we dissect how internet censorship and surveillance obstruct democratization, providing the first cross-national tests of online surveillance effects. Across 63 countries, online government monitoring is negatively associated with democratization, while internet censorship exhibits no additional effect. We theorize that suppression technologies erode democratic progress by thwarting collective action and e…
Alexander Karn. Amending the Past
Amending the Past: Europe’s Holocaust Commissions and the Right to History is a challenging book, with many perceptive insights into the nature of history and memory that go well beyond its concern with the legacies of the Holocaust. Alexander Karn examines twelve Holocaust Commissions established in Europe after the mid-1990s: seven national commissions (France, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Italy, Lithuania, and Latvia), three bilateral commiss…
The Making of the Modern Refugee
Refugee histories tend towards the study of particular refugee groups, or refugees in particular places. This past century of war, shifting borders and population displacement has uprooted many ten
Remaking Asylum in Post-War France, 1944–52
This article examines the steps by which asylum and the rights of refugees were remade in France after the Liberation. The legacy of the pre-1940 period, in which exclusive practices such as legislative prohibitions on refugees, expulsion and internment were the norm, resulted in the need, after the war, to restate and reaffirm republican principles. The article will examine the ideological assumptions that lay behind the postwar asylum debate, a…
The Limits of Tolerance
Suspicion and distrust of certain groups of foreign refugees legitimised the imposition of constraints. Their role in civil disturbances was of special concern. In August 1831, 200 Italians led disturbances in Paris, when they expressed, according to the police report, the 'most contradictory opinions' against the government. Because a certain number of them posed such a danger to the civil order, the police recommended that they should be remove…
Refuge in the Land of Liberty
This book examines changing responses towards refugees in modern France through French legal, intellectual, political and social history. Critical questions framed debates and policy: whether individu
