Editorial Reviews

Review

Asylum for Mankind succeeds admirably as a political and intellectual analysis of migration policy in Britain and the new American republic. It is a book that, in filling an interpretive gap, has also opened up a new range of questions about the initial populating of the United States.

-- James A. Henretta ― Journal of Social History

Baseler's study of immigration policy will be sought out by historians and graduate students and is likely to stand as an authoritative treatment of the notion of American Asylum.

― Journal of American History

Baseler addresses in thoughtful and persuasive ways the extent to which the promise of freedom and opportunity was realized in the lives of American immigrants. Complex motives and ambiguous effects constitute the fundamental theme of this balanced and comprehensive study.... This is a valuable, compelling, and highly recommended study.

-- James H. Kettner ― Annals of the American Academy

Baseler skillfully weaves her close examination of British mercantile thought and American republican rhetoric into a detailed analysis of the immigration policies that shaped the settlement of early America. The result is a fresh account of the original debates on immigration's role in American society. The book is suitable for graduate students and upper-level undergraduates, but should appeal to all readers interested in the origins of American immigration policy and the complex and contested images of the American asylum.

-- Philip Otterness ― Perspectives on Political Science

Readers will find this work valuable.... The book is notable for its range, its assiduous references to recent scholarship, and its orientation to the Atlantic world.... Thought-provoking.

-- Anita Tien ― William and Mary Quarterly

Richly documented, well written, and systematically argued,... Baseler's study of the colonial and revolutionary years offers new insights into America's role in the Atlantic world.

-- Nonald MacRaild ― Immigrants and Minorities

This study establishes the primacy of the colonial period in laying the foundation for America's subsequent experience with immigration.... In dense and often fascinating detail, she locates the origin of the idea of America as asylum in seventeenth-century England.

― American Historical Review

Well researched.... Recommended for undergraduates and above.
