本书是英国著名文化史家彼得·伯克的最新作品，对流亡者与客居者在知识史上的贡献做了广泛的思考，充满了逸闻趣事和引人入胜的发现；讲述了流亡者与客居者即使在背井离乡的阴影下，也能创造新的知识。伯克认为，历史上不同文化背景学者之间的相遇，对双方都是一种教育，让他们接触到不同的思维方式。流亡者用疏离超然的眼光看待祖国和客居国，使他们能够注意到两国学者所忽略的东西；与此同时，两种不同的思想风格有时经过他们的融合会通后，也会产生创造性的混合，产生新的知识。 本书作者彼得·伯克是剑桥大学荣休教授，引领新史学的史学巨擘、新文化史研究的重要旗手，在国内学术界和读者群体中也有很大的影响力。本书是他在知识史领域的最新力作，具有较高的学术价值，反映了欧美学术界知识史和移民史领域的最新研究成果，观点新颖，前沿性强，拓展了史学史研究的思路。
