Abstract

The postface by Simon Burrows describes his serendipitous journey in the field of emigration as a veteran in the study of French exiled journalism in the British Isles and a pioneer in Digital Humanities. Paying tribute to the men and women who influenced his thoughts on the matter, this chapter is a summary of the historiographical changes and challenges that he and other historians have faced in the last twenty years. Writing from the viewpoint of a frequent migrant, he discusses the need to show compassion to the subject of this study and recognise their humanity despite ideological differences.
