‘The quality of the historical research behind this publication is excellent. The narrative and arguments of the book are supported by detailed multi-archival research, interviews conducted during the 2000s, and a solid theoretical basis. […] Soo’s book can be praised for providing a highly readable and updated account in English on the history of Spanish republican exiles in France. Learning about the intricacies of the historical relationship between refugees and the modern nation-state is enlightening and—taking into account pressing concerns.’Ángel Alcalde, Independent Scholar, American Historical Review
