Comparative Perspectives

Manuel Borutta | Jan C. Jansen

History / Europe / General

This volume compares one of the largest instances of 'ethnic cleansing' – the German expellees from the East (Vertriebene) – with the most important case of decolonization migration – the French repatriates of Algeria (pieds-noirs).

Manuel Borutta is Assistant Professor for Mediterranean history at the Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany. Among his recent publications are A Colonial Sea: The Mediterranean, 1798-1956 (2012, co-editor with Sakis Gekas), and Antikatholizismus: Deutschland und Italien im Zeitalter der europäischen Kulturkämpfe (2011).

Jan C. Jansen is Research Fellow at the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC, USA. He is the author of Erobern und Erinnern: Symbolpolitik, öffentlicher Raum und französischer Kolonialismus in Algerien 1830-1950 (2013) and co-author, with Jürgen Osterhammel, of Kolonialismus: Geschichte, Formen, Folgen (2012) and Dekolonisation: Das Ende der Imperien (2013).
