The New European Diasporas: National Minorities and Conflict in Eastern Europe [Paperback]

Michael Mandelbaum (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2000

This text places the movements of borders, not peoples, at the heart of social and racial conflict in Eastern Europe throughout the 20th century. It argues that the political upheavals of the 1900s have left in their wake many national minorities and focuses on four in particular: the Hungarian diaspora in Germany; the Russian diaspora in Eastern Europe; the Serb diaspora following the breakup of Yugoslavia; and the Albanian plight in Kosovo and Macedonia.
