The Rise of Liberal Refuge -- Catholic Émigrés and the Protestant Nation -- The Consolation of Refuge -- Telling Stories, Taking Action -- Taking Refuge in Empire -- Colonial Refuge in the Metropolitan Eye -- Part II. A National Tradition or a Universal Right? : Refuge and the Law -- Heroes, Villains, and the Parameters of Political Asylum -- Probing the Limits of Imperial Humanitarianism -- Hardening the Humanitarian Heart -- Conclusion: Moral Politics and the Quest for a Language of Right.'Britannia's Embrace' offers the first historical examination of the origins of refuge for persecuted foreigners. It argues that this modern humanitarian norm - the responsibility to protect foreign refugees of any race, class, politics, or creed - developed in nineteenth-century Britain through a popular movement that equated the provision of refuge with a national liberal identity and compelled even the most powerful politicians to heed its demands. The public's moral enthusiasm for foreign refugees ironically drew strength from the political and physical resources of the British Empire.RefugeesHistory19th centuryGreat BritainPolitical refugeesHistory19th centuryGreat BritainHumanitarianismHistory19th centuryGreat BritainRefugeesHistoryGovernment policy19th centuryGreat BritainAsylum, Right ofHistory19th centuryGreat BritainImperialismHistorySocial aspects19th centuryGreat BritainLiberalismHistory19th centuryGreat BritainSocial Welfare & Social WorkHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCSocial Welfare & Social Work - GeneralHILCCGreat BritainEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryGreat BritainPolitics and government19th centuryRefugeesHistoryPolitical refugeesHistoryHumanitarianismHistoryRefugeesHistoryGovernment policyAsylum, Right ofHistoryImperialismHistorySocial aspectsLiberalismHistorySocial Welfare & Social WorkSocial SciencesSocial Welfare & Social Work - General362.87/80941362.8780941HIS015000POL035010HIS037060bisacshShaw Caroline251873PQKBBOOK9910154315003321Britannia's embrace : modern humanitarianism and the imperial origins of refugee relief2885221UNINA
