This edited volume presents a cutting-edge discussion and analysis
of civilian ‘enemy alien’ internment in Britain, the internment
of British civilians on the continent, and civilian internment
camps run by the British within the wider British Empire. The book
brings together a range of interdisciplinary specialists including
archaeologists, historians, and heritage practitioners to give a
full overview of the topic of internment internationally. Very
little has been written about the experience of interned Britons on
the continent during the Second World War compared with
continentals interned in Britain. Even fewer accounts exist of the
regime in British Dominions where British guards presided over the
camps. This collection is the first to bring together the British
experiences, as the common theme, in one study. The new research
presented here also offers updated statistics for the camps whilst
considering the period between 1945 to the present day through
related site heritage issues.
