- This volume evolved from a De Montfort University Revolving Investment Fund grant of £6,000 for Panayi awarded in 2010. This resulted in a workshop on the theme of the book, which took place at De Montfort University in July 2011. The speakers produced their papers in advance of the workshop and these evolved into the articles following the feedback from both Panayi and the other participants. Panayi solely edited the volume, using the knowledge he had acquired on the experience of German minorities during the great War over three decades, helping to shape the arguments within the individual pieces and moulding them towards consideration of a series of themes which he had asked the speakers/authors to address. In addition, he also produced the introductory essay entitled ‘Germans as Minorities during the First World War: Global Comparative Perspectives’ (pp. 3-26) and a second piece entitled ‘“Barbed Wire Disease” or a “Prison Camp Society”: The Everyday Lives of German Internees on the Isle of Man, 1914-1919’ (pp. 99-122). The book offers the first global comparative perspective on the experience of German minorities during the Great encompassing the entire European continent from Great Britain to Russia, East and South Africa, North and South America and New Zealand. The speakers worked in Universities in Europe (including Turkey), the USA, New Zealand and south Africa.
