Focusing on emigres from Baden, Wurttemberg and Hungary in four
host societies (Switzerland, the Ottoman Empire, England and the
United States), Helena Toth considers exile in the aftermath of the
revolutions of 1848 1849 as a European phenomenon with global
dimensions. While exile is often presented as an individual
challenge, Toth studies its collective aspects in the realms of the
family and of professional and social networks. Exploring the
interconnectedness of these areas, she argues that although we
often like to sharply distinguish between labor migration and
exile, these categories were anything but stable after the
revolutions of 1848 1849; migration belonged to the personal
narrative of the revolution for a broad section of the population.
Moreover, discussions about exile and amnesty played a central role
in formulating the legacy of the revolutions not only for the
emigres but also for their social environment and, ultimately, the
governments of the restoration. As a composite, the stories of
emigres shaped the post-revolutionary era and reflected its
contradictions."
