Human displacement has always been a consequence of war, written
into the myths and histories of centuries of warfare. However, the
global conflicts of the twentieth century brought displacement to
civilizations on an unprecedented scale, as the two World Wars
shifted participants around the globe. Although driven by political
disputes between European powers, the consequences of Empire
ensured that Europe could not contain them. Soldiers traversed
continents, and civilians often followed them, or found themselves
living in territories ruled by unexpected invaders. Both wars saw
fighting in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Far East, and
few nations remained neutral. Both wars saw the mass upheaval of
civilian populations as a consequence of the fighting.
Displacements were geographical, cultural, and psychological; they
were based on nationality, sex/gender or age. They produced an
astonishing range of human experience, recorded by the participants
in different ways. This book brings together a collection of
inter-disciplinary works by scholars who are currently producing
some of the most innovative and influential work on the subject of
displacement in war, in order to share their knowledge and
interpretations of historical and literary sources. The collection
unites historians and literary scholars in addressing the issues of
war and displacement from multiple angles. Contributors draw on a
wealth of primary source materials and resources including archives
from across the world, military records, medical records, films,
memoirs, diaries and letters, both published and private, and
fictional interpretations of experience.
