Description

In this novel approach to law and literature, Robert Barsky delves into the canon of so-called Great Books, and discovers that many beloved characters therein encounter obstacles similar to those faced by contemporary refugees and undocumented persons. The struggles of Odysseus, Moses, Aeneas, Dante, Satan, Dracula and Alice in Wonderland, among many others, provide surprising insights into current discussions about those who have left untenable situations in their home countries in search of legal protection. Law students, lawyers, social scientists, literary scholars and general readers who are interested in learning about international refugee law and immigration regulations in home and host countries will find herein a plethora of details about border crossings, including those undertaken to flee pandemics, civil unrest, racism, intolerance, war, forced marriage, or limited opportunities in their home countries. Review Clamouring for Legal Protection provides a humanistic lens through which to view the complex realms of refugee law and border studies. By showing how well-known characters from canonical works face obstacles that resemble those facing contemporary refugees, Barsky is able to create empathy for people who are often denigrated or shunned as 'outsiders', rather than welcomed as inspiring contributors to host societies. - Deborah Anker, Clinical Professor of Law and Founder of the Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program, Harvard Law School, USA With stunning erudition, Barsky follows the trajectory of vulnerable migrants (asylum seekers, temporary migrant workers, undocumented migrants...) and combines the 'Great Books' of world literature with contemporary legal tenets to explore the complexity of their predicament, demonstrating that, throughout history, many individuals follow the ancient tradition of hospitality and protect migrants, but, swayed by populist identity politics, many societies blame migrants for their ills, foster hostile environments and show 'mountainish inhumanity'. - François Crépeau, Professor of Public International Law, McGill University, Canada Published on the 70th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, Clamouring for Legal Protection reminds us that escape from untenable situations and the search for asylum are not only rooted throughout the course of human history but also embedded in the iconic characters and universal themes of the great literary works that reflect our common humanity. - Bill Frelick, Director, Refugee and Migrant Rights Division, Human Rights Watch, USA About the Author Robert F Barsky is Canada Research Chair: Law, Narrative and Border Crossing (2019-20). He is Professor of Humanities and a Jointly Appointed Faculty Member in the Law School at Vanderbilt University.
