British immigration control procedures and Jewish refugees 1933-1942.
No full textPhDThis thesis is an historical account of the British
government's regulation of the immigration to the United
Kingdom of Jewish refugees in flight from Nazi persecution.
The focus of the study is the administration of immigration
controls, with particular emphasis on the groups of refugees
for whom entry was possible and the conditions subject to
which they were admitted. The administrative process is also
examined in the context of policy. The results of the
government's efforts to control the influx are set against
policy goals, in order to assess both the extent to which
the quest for control was successful, and the extent to
which it led to unintended consequences. The relationship
between policy and procedure is thus a key theme of this
study.
The bulk of the thesis is concerned with policy-making and
administration within government, and is based on documents
in the Public Record Office(PRO). Other sources used include
private papers of ministers and officials, records of Jewish
organisations, archives of refugee committees and
interviews, listed in the bibliography. The material largely
concerns the work of Whitehall departments, interdepartmental
relations and activities at Cabinet-level. Home
Office policy and practice are covered in particular detail.
The contributions of other government departments,
particularly the Foreign Office, the Ministry of Labour and
the Treasury, are also discussed. Another important topic is
the policy-making and administrative role of nongovernmental
organisations, especially refugee committees.
The introduction is followed by a chapter outlining the
legal and administrative history of immigration control
since 1905. succeeding chapters deal chronologically with
the British response to the immigration of Jewish refugees
from 1933 to 1942. The conclusion discusses whether British
policy was humanitarian or self-interested. Two appendixes
contain brief biographical notes on persons relevant to the
thesis and a list of Home Secretaries and Home Office
Permanent Under Secretaries
Cult: A Composite Novel
Full text linkCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts
