In a series of focused studies related to the event that has generated the richest literature in exile studies – the intellectual exiles arising out of Nazi rule – this volume reconsiders a number of issues raised by that literature, notably the multiple, complex and changing negotiating processes and bargaining structures constitutive of exile, especially as the question of return interplays with the politics of memory.
“This incisive study is the culmination of more than a decade of research on the subject of intellectuals in exile. Kettler—himself a member of the ‘second wave’ generation that emigrated from Germany as children—draws on sources and representative case studies relating to the diaspora of intellectuals from Nazi Germany in the 1930s.” —‘Bardian’ (Bard College magazine) Fall 2011
