Issue 4/2022, vol. 71, of the Journal of East Central European Studies has just been published. It features the special issue “East Central Europe as a Place of Refuge in the Twentieth Century: State and Patterns of Historical Research,” edited by Michal Frankl.
From the introduction:
“Refugees were an important, and—as we argue—underestimated, part of the history of East Central Europe in the twentieth century. The articles in this issue all originate from the discussions and research in the European Research Council’s Consolidator project ‘Unlikely Refuge? Refugees and Citizens in East-Central Europe in the 20th Century.’ The project team is systematically examining the forms and dilemmas of assistance to refugees in the Habsburg Empire during the First World War and in nation-states which were formed, figuratively speaking, upon its ruins—namely, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and their successor states. It explores connections between citizenship and refugeedom in a region characterized by nationalism and ethnic homogenization, spaces of entanglement between refugees, government officials and aid workers, and neglected histories of local humanitarianism and its interactions with international organizations.”
