«Réfugiés et sans-papiers» is the historical essay by Gérard Noiriel, published by Hachette in paperback (350 pages, in French).
The essay addresses French policy towards refugees and undocumented immigrants between the 19th and 20th centuries. Drawing on Article 20 of the 1793 Constitution, Noiriel shows how the universalist ideal of asylum clashed with restrictive practices and the defence of national identity, the origin of current contradictions in asylum law.
Published in 1998, with the subtitle «La République face au droit d'asile, XIXe-XXe siècle»; the cover bears the mention «Pluriel».
A work of interest to social science students, historians and readers following the debate on migration and asylum in France.
Gérard Noiriel is a French historian. He is director of studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.
