Today's refugee 'crisis' has its origins in the political and imaginative history 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, and Simone Weil, among others, the outcasts of the twentieth century raised vital questions about sovereignty, humanism and the future of human rights. Placeless People argues that we urgently need to reconnect with the moral and political imagination of these first chroniclers of the placeless condition"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Arendt, Hannah, |d1906-1975 |xCriticism and interpretation. 650 0 Exiles' writings |y20th century |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Refugees in literature. 650 0 Expatriate authors. 650 0 Literature, Modern |y20th century |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Refugees |xSocial conditions. 650 7 Exiles' writings. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00918152 650 7 Expatriate authors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00918315 650 7 Literature, Modern. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01000172 650 7 Refugees in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01904453 650 7 Refugees |xSocial conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01092844 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 852 0 |bstacks |hPN495 |i.S755 2018
