Minorities in Wartime: National and Racial Groupings in Europe, North America and Australia During the Two World Wars: National and Racial Groupings ... and Australia During the Two World Wars - Hardcover

An international team explores the fate of ethnic groups in societies under severe stress. Although the authors have chosen the extreme situations of the two world wars, the parallels with the recent eruptions of violence and the widespread re-emergence of racism in the wake of dislocation and disorientation of large populations are striking and invite comparison. This pioneering book fills an obvious gap in the field of minority history and the study of war and society.
