Förlagets beskrivning
The Huguenot diaspora is one of the most important dispersions of a
religious minority in early modern Europe. Traditionally known as "le Refuge",
this migration led to the exodus of nearly 200,000 Protestants out of France in
1685. This work offers a comparative perspective on this event and its
repercussions by an international group of 17 specialists of early modern
France, Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands and historians of British and
French colonial America and Dutch South Africa. It sheds light on the
Protestant experience both in and outside of France. The Huguenot experience of
17th century France and the diaspora is examined through the lens of minority
status and assimilation. This volume explains why some Huguenots chose to
emigrate instead of being assimilated by the dominant Catholic group, while
others recanted their faith and remained in France. The Huguenot diaspora is one of the most important dispersions of a
