en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2016
Population Displacement in Lithuania in the XXth Century: Experiences, Identities and Legacies is an edited volume written by historians from several countries offering a series of ground-breaking case studies on forced migration in Lithuania during and between the two World Wars. Starting with the premise that the mass movement of peoples during and after the Second World War needs to be understood in relation to the population displacement of the First World War, the authors draw on theoretical perspectives ranging from entangled histories, cultural theory and studies of nationalism to trace the ethnic, social and cultural transformation of Lithuanian society caused by the displacement of Lithuanians, Poles, Jews and Germans.

Contributors are: Tomas Balkelis, Daiva Dapkutė, Violeta Davoliūtė, Andrea Griffante, Ruth Leiserowitz, Klaus Richter, Vasilijus Safronovas, Vitalija Stravinskienė, Arūnas Streikus and Theodore R. Weeks.

Recenzii

“The authors, perhaps inadvertently, acknowledge a debt to Jan Gross in also suggesting that the impact of the Second World War needs to be understood in relation to the First World War. Gross suggested in passing that Jews who fled eastwards in 1939-41 during the Soviet occupation of Belarus and western Ukraine did so less in anticipation of a Nazi onslaught than because of memories of pogroms during the First World War and its immediate aftermath. Whatever the validity of this suggestion, it is imperative to think about the associations between the two world wars, and one of the most fruitful aspects of this book is that its contributors are attuned to this kind of broad chronological perspective. Mid-century upheavals can no longer be detached from earlier developments.”
