Scholars had never systematically compared German Vertriebene and French Pieds-Noirs integration

Evidence

Despite these striking parallels, already noticed by scholars of other disciplines, historians have studied Vertriebene and Pieds-Noirs in isolation from each other. Vertriebene and Pieds-Noirs in Postwar Germany and France breaks with this conventional approach by comparing both groups systematically and placing them within larger processes that reshaped Europe after World War II. While the existing comparative literature on twentieth-century population transfers is mainly concerned with the forms and dynamics of coercive mass migration, this volume compares the complex processes of integration and the manifold consequences for the receiving societies that followed. In this way, the book sets out to reassess the lasting impact ‘reverse migration’ had on European nation-states and societies. — Manuel Borutta and Jan C.
