Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information With nearly 110 million individuals dislocated by war, famine, and environmental disaster, refugee crises have been, and will continue to be, a highly visible part of our global reality. But understanding and addressing what the future holds requires reckoning with the past. In the series Refugees, Relief, and Resettlement, Gale opens a window onto the history of refugees and forced migration so that the thousands of scholars and students who will study—and possibly work with—refugee populations may look profitably to the primary source record of the past to help them navigate the present and the future. Collections This archive chronicles the plight of refugees and displaced persons across Europe, North Africa, and Asia from 1935 to 1950 using pamphlets, ephemera, government documents, relief organization publications, and refugee reports. Current refugee crises figure prominently in world media. However, the history of refugee crises throughout the twentieth century remains largely untold through primary sources. With Refugees, Relief and Resettlement: Forced Migration and World War II, Gale chronicles the plight of refugees and displaced persons across Europe, North Africa, and Asia from 1935 to 1950, bringing together over 590,000 pages of pamphlets, ephemera, government documents, relief organization publications, and refugee reports that recount the causes, effects, and responses to refugee crises before, during and shortly after World War II. Part II of this archive draws on government files, refugee agency reports, and myriad other forms of documentation to capture the new challenges faced by those forced to flee their homelands in this period of global political strife and decolonization. With the onset of the Cold War, the United States and its European allies battled the Communist regimes of the Soviet Union, China, and their satellites across the globe for control and influence over nations in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The refugee crises that ensued often reflected the nature of that war. These included mass emigrations that followed crackdowns on dissident movements and national uprisings as well as the flight or placement in camps of refugee populations from proxy wars. This archive draws on government files, refugee agency reports, and myriad other forms of documentation to capture the new challenges faced by refugees.
