Britannia's Embrace: Modern Humanitarianism and the Imperial Origins of Refugee Relief
Shaw, Caroline (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, Bates College)
Britannia's Embrace revises current understandings about the origins of refuge, which have focused exclusively on the period post-1914. It argues that the responsibility to protect persecuted foreigners developed in nineteenth-century Britain through a popular movement that equated refugee relief with what it meant to be liberal on a global stage.
