CFP: Reimagining Citizenship in Postwar Europe

Deadline: October 4, 2021

Although fighting in the European theatre of World War II officially ended in May 1945, for millions of displaced and homeless individuals the struggle had only begun. Large groups of ethnic minorities were subjected to resettlement policies that uprooted them from their former homes. Others, mainly from Eastern Europe, fought against repatriation to their countries of origin. At the same time, Allied occupiers and new governments across the continent began to rethink what sovereignty might look like after the war. In the decades to come, new states and citizens would contest the very bounds of belonging in the postwar world.
