<p><strong>'The authors of this book aim to redress the dearth of academic studies on refugees and in doing so accomplish the monumental task of providing a history of global refugee movements in the 20th century ... its helpful observations about the neglected humanity of refugees are important for our multi-cultural society.'</strong> - <em>Jewish Chronicle</em><br /><br /><strong>'Both in scope and in depth, this book is the result of tireless research, with official documents supplemented by more colourful and often fascinating entries from a number of individuals who came into contact with the refugees ... this is a work of considerable value as a resource for reference purposes and deserves a wide circulation.'</strong> - <em>The Tablet</em><br /><br /><strong>'An example of fine scholarship and distinguished altruism.'</strong> - <em>Library Journal</em><br /><br /><strong>'[A] monumental study of twentieth-century global refugee movements. The scope of this book is as staggering as the events it describes ... although </strong><em>Refugees in An Age of Genocide</em><strong> is written for an academic audience, it deserves a much wider readership. It is written with style and passion and its subject - the responsibility that we all owe to the displaced peoples of our planet - could not be more central to our hopes and fears for the new millennium.'</strong> - <em>New Internationalist</em><br /><br /><strong>'</strong><em>Refugees in an Age of Genocide</em><strong> is the first history of refugees in Britain and makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of Britain's policy towards refugees and asylum seekers over the past century.'</strong> - <em>Peace News</em><br /><br /><strong>'A superb history of refugees in Britain, compiled largely from local historical sources.'</strong> - <em>London Review of Books</em><br /><br /><strong>'The comprehensive scope and focused detail of </strong><em>Refugees in an Age of Genocide</em><strong> presents a compelling case for dedicated political activism on each of the levels noted in the book's subtitle - global, national and local ... a valuable reference work on the social, psychological and political history of displacement in the 20th century, a handbook about real people and problems that affect all of us and for which we all must take responsibility.'</strong> - <em>Times Higher Education Supplement</em><br /><br /><strong>'The beauty of Kushner and Knox's research is the way this grim overview is countered by detailed, irrefutable evidence of the welcome given to refugees on the ground ... it's a tribute to ordinary people - and a rebuke to the populist governments that claim to speak in the people's name.'</strong> - <em>Red Pepper</em><br /><br /><strong>'It will become a standard work on the study of newcomers to Britain, the nation-state that is its focal point ... the amount of work put into this volume inspires complete confidence in its conclusions ... [a] brilliant and moving book.'</strong> - <em>Patterns of Prejudice</em></p>
