Episode 11: Postwar Displacement and Human Rights Development, Guest: G. Daniel Cohen
In episode 11, Franziska Lamp-Miechowiecki talks to historian G. Daniel Cohen about the role of the management of post-war displacement for the development of Western humanitarianism. The episode focuses on the ideas behind the contested term 'human rights revolution', which describes the development of new mechanisms for dealing with flight, expulsion and displacement in the immediate post-WWII period. Cohen also provides a comprehensive analysis of the reasons why historiography largely ignored the history of Displaced Persons (DPs) until the 1990s.
