Opis

Early in World War II, thousands of refugees traveled from France to Vichy-controlled Martinique, en route to safer shores in North, Central, and South America. While awaiting transfer, the exiles formed influential ties with one another and with local black dissidents. As Eric T. Jennings shows, what began as expulsion became a kind of rescue.
