A pathbreaking study that sheds new light on the impact of immigrants from the Continent on Elizabethan England and the policy decisions that their presence prompted. Much like governments facing immigration issues today, England's sixteenth-century governors struggled to strike balances in their policies dealing with the influx of immigrants who sought escape from religious persecution and the wars that then wrecked the Continent. The resulting dichotomy of welcome and control explored in this study characterizes the relationship between native and immigrants to the present day. "Strangers Settled Here Among Us" provides important insights in the history of immigration and the search for balance -- as relevant today as it was in the sixteenth century.
Industry Reviews
"Many migration studies focus on the economic, political or religious forces that compelled people to move, but few address these issues in terms of the reaction of the receiving government to an influx of aliens. In the late Tudor period, England became an important participant in international affairs; controlling and managing this political shift, particularly when faced with popular perceptions left over from a previous era, was a daunting task. What Yungblut develops in this book is the attempt by Elizabeth and Cecil to recognize and address these new problems. She concisely and convincingly outlines the problems and the methods Elizabeth chose to confront them.." -"International Migration Review ." . . her [Laura Hunt Yungblut] study is both well written and thoroughly researched. By reading this book the general reader will gain a clearer understanding of the nature and impact of immigration on Elizabethan England." -David B. Mock, Tallahassee Community College, Summer 1997 ..." provides a useful perspective on the thinking and planning of Elizabeth I." -"Albion
