Free World? is a major contribution to the transnational history of
humanitarianism in the postwar world. Peter Gatrell shows how and
why the UN, NGOs, governments and individuals embarked on a unique
campaign, World Refugee Year (1959-60), in response to global
refugee crises, particularly in Europe, the Middle East and the Far
East. Adopted by nearly one hundred countries, the campaign
galvanised public opinion and raised money by enlisting
celebrities, using the mass media, and recreating 'refugee camps'
in the affluent West. Free World? assesses the causes and
consequences of the refugee crises, locates the campaign in the
broader geopolitical context of the Cold War and decolonisation and
shows how it helped to inspire subsequent campaigns such as Amnesty
International and Freedom from Hunger. Ultimately, the book asks
how those who are in a more privileged position might better
reflect on their responsibilities towards refugees in the modern
world.
