Reviews
Articles are supremely researched, compelling, and enjoyable to read. ... This book provides a rich comparative study, the first of its kind, and certainly the first in English ... to address two lesser known populations of migrants who had and continue to have an important role in the national identities of France and Germany. Specialists in migration studies, diaspora and memory studies, as well as the unversed in the history of the Pieds-Noirs and Vertriebene, will find this book useful. (Amy L. Hubbell, EuropeNow Journal, europenowjournal.org, April, 2017)
'Vertriebene and Pieds-Noirs in Postwar Germany and France is an essential and timely publication. Engaging leading scholars in a vivid dialogue, it links two academic fields that have remained isolated from each other. At a time when the continent is facing an unprecedented wave of people seeking asylum, it is a powerful reminder of how much postwar Europe has been shaped by mass migrations.' - Jurgen Osterhammel, Professor of Modern History at the University of Konstanz, Germany 'This crisply edited volume placing German Vertriebene and French Pieds-noirs in critical comparison is groundbreaking. Beautifully wrought, through its careful pairing of topical chapters, it reveals unexpected commonalities and surprising contrasts, causing us to see Germany's former eastern settlements, postcolonial Europe, and even comparative historiography in new light.' - Andrea L. Smith, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Lafayette College, USA
