Summary "The contributors to this volume - legal scholars, sociologists, political scientists and historians - focus on migration control in the 19th century, concentrating on issues such as the impact of the French Revolution on the development of modern citizenship laws and on the development of new forms of migration control in France and other European states, and the interrelationship between the different administrative levels - local, regional and national - at which migration control was exercised. Taken altogether, these essays demonstrate conclusively that the image of the 19th century as a liberal era during which migration was unaffected by state intervention is untenable and in serious need of revision."--BOOK JACKET
