• W345907178 abstract "Author(s): Shaw, Caroline Emily | Advisor(s): Laqueur, Thomas W.; Vernon, James | Abstract: The dissertation that follows offers first historical examination of nineteenth-century origins of as a modern humanitarian and legal category. To date, scholars have tended to focus on a single refugee group or have overlooked this period entirely, acknowledging linguistic origins of term with seventeenth-century French Huguenots before skipping directly to post-WWI period. I find that it is only through imperial and global history of British refuge in nineteenth century that we can understand sources of our contemporary moral commitment to refugees. Through most of eighteenth century, were understood to be Protestants fleeing persecution on Continent. The refugee category expanded during French Revolution and decades that followed, as British philanthropists, officials and civil servants defined their nation in contrast to oppressive governance across globe. By mid-nineteenth century, the refugee, although nowhere defined in British law, was recognized from political fringes to heights of imperial government as a foreigner who had been persecuted overseas and hence required special philanthropic attention. The British media and a broad contingent of supporters from all social classes celebrated refuge as a national moral imperative. They applied category to any foreigner who fit now standardized refugee characteristics regardless of his or her religion, race, or politics. This high moral aspiration encountered two distinct difficulties in years after 1870, however. First, while British routinely assumed that they were more liberal than other powers, imperial rule bred pockets of resistance and created its own political refugees. This raised troubling questions of ethical consistency, as British politicians and philanthropists themselves recognized. Second, Britain's ability to harbor foreign refugees depended on its imperial reach. The increasingly obvious limits to Britain's international power after 1870 made it more difficult to resettle refugees throughout Empire or to persuade foreign powers to protect refugees at Britain's behest. Ironically, these limitations also drove British philanthropists and officials to pursue refugee relief on an increasingly international basis, legacies of which remain with us today." @default.
