Rethinking refugeedom in East Central Europe

Review by Emma Dal Mas
Black-and-white photo of a crowd of women and children in long skirts, headscarves, and shawls gathered on a dirt street beside a plain stucco wall, with a man in a straw boater and a woman in a feathered hat at the left.
Refugees and Citizens in Twentieth-Century East Central Europe (CEU Press, 2026), edited by Michal Frankl, examines refugee protection, humanitarianism, and refugee agency in the region. Emma Dal Mas writes that the volume puts East Central European refugee management and protection back on the map and indicates how much remains to be said about the subject.
