About the book

The edited volume "Endangered Scholars" examines the phenomenon of intellectuals who are forced to seek refuge in foreign countries due to persecution. Experts shed light on the historical, political, and legal dimensions of this complex topic from the early 20th century to the present day. The work makes an important contribution to research on academics in exile and the global politics of protecting endangered scholars.
