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.
