Emily Talbot besuchte mit ihrem Mann das Grab ihrer Eltern auf dem Trinity Cemetery. Es war fünf Uhr nachmittags. Die Dunkelheit kroch wie ein Moloch über den menschenleeren Friedhof. Trübe flackerten Kerzenflämmchen im milchigen Nebel. Feiner Regen sprühte auf Edinburgh. Seine etwas jüngere Frau zündete die Kerze in der Grablaterne an. Ihr Blick ging dabei an ihrem Mann vorbei. Hinter ihm schälte sich eine dunkle Gestalt aus dem Nebel.

A provocative account showing that "China" - and its 5,000 years of unified history - is a national myth, created only a century ago with a political agenda that persists to this day.

In this compelling book, Ther examines the major causes of mass flight, from religious intolerance and ethnic cleansing to political persecution and war. He describes the perils and traumas of flight and explains why refugees and asylum seekers have been welcomed in some periods - such as during the Cold War - and why they are rejected in times such as our own. He also examines the afterlives of the refugees in the receiving countries, which almost always benefited from admitting them. He reconceptualizes Europe as a unit of geography and historiography.
