Uprooted: How post-WWII Population Transfers Remade Europe

Each year, millions of people are uprooted from their homes by wars, repression, natural disasters, and climate change. In "Uprooted," Charnysh presents a fresh perspective on the consequences of mass displacement, arguing that accommodating the displaced population can strengthen receiving states and benefit local economies. With rich insights and compelling evidence, the book challenges common assumptions about the costs of forced displacement and cultural diversity and proposes a novel mechanism linking wars to state-building.
