In her 1951 landmark study, The Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt characterized statelessness as "the newest mass phenomenon in contemporary history," one which has much to do with explaining the book's titular subject. Roughly a century after the post-World War I period to which Arendt was referring, mass migration and displacement are again leading to ominous political developments. The Trump administration's recent actions on immigration provide a clear case in point.
