The Yearbook of Transnational History is dedicated to disseminating
pioneering research in the field of transnational history. This
fourth volume is focused to the theme of exile. Authors from across
the historical discipline provide insights into central aspects of
research into the phenomenon of exile in the nineteenth and
twentieth century. Both centuries have seen large numbers of people
- left-leaning revolutionaries as well as monarchists and
conservatives - fleeing revolutions, oppression, persecution, and
extermination. This volume is the first publication to provide a
comprehensive overview over exiles of various political and ethnic
groups beginning with the French Revolution and ending with the
transfer of Nazi scientists from post-World-War-II Germany to the
United States. This volume contains contributions about the
refugees created by the French Revolution, the Forty-Eighters who
were forced out of Germany after the failed Revolution of 1848/49,
the anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, Vietnamese
anti-colonial activists in France, the exiles of Nazi Germany, and
the transfer of Nazi scientists such as Wernher von Braun to the
United States after World War II.
