Beskrivning
The Politics of Exile in Latin America addresses exile as a major mechanism of institutional exclusion used by all types of governments in the region against their own citizens, while they often provided asylum to aliens fleeing persecution. The work is the first systematic analysis of Latin American exile on a continental and transnational basis and on a long-term perspective. It traces variations in the saliency of exile among different expelling and receiving countries; across different periods; with different paths of exile, both elite and massive; and under authoritarian and democratic contexts. The project integrates theoretical hindsight and empirical findings, analyzing the importance of exile as a recent and contemporary phenomenon, while reaching back to its origins and phases of development. It also addresses presidential exile, the formation of Latin American communities of exiles worldwide, and the role of exiles in shaping the collective identities of these countries.

Recensioner i media

'The Politics of Exile in Latin America offers a wide-ranging and integrative comparative study of political translocation that has taken place from the early nineteenth century during the period of independence to the 1960s and 1970s when the continent was gripped by a series of authoritarian dictatorships that forced millions abroad. Sweeping in scope yet detailed in its examination of different periods in the history of political exile, the authors offer an original interpretation of the continuities and changes that occurred as dissidents and outsiders were forced to leave their countries. This comprehensive and qualitative study examines Latin America, including Brazil, and the Caribbean as a whole and offers historians, social scientists, and the interested reader the most insightful and inclusive overview of this subject to date.' James N. Green, Brown University
