Marrus Traces The Emergence Of This New Variety Of Collective Alienation.While A Considerable Portion Of The Book Is Devoted To The Dislocations Of The Nazi Era, The Volume Covers Everything From The Late Nineteenth Century To The Present, Encompassing The Armenian Refugees, The Spanish Civil War Emigres, The Cold War Refugees In Flight From Soviet States, And Much More.
