In 1921, Fridtjof Nansen had no budget, no staff, and no legal framework. He had a single room at the League of Nations. From it, he invented the modern refugee system -- and its structural failures. #DisplacedPeoples #RefugeeHistory

Quick: how many people were displaced in China during WWII? Answer: 95 million. That's more than the entire population of Germany. Most WWII histories give China's displacement a paragraph. This book gives it proportional representation. #DisplacedPeoples #WWII

FROM THE BOOK: 'The Lausanne Convention was a wound that healed as precedent.' The 1923 Greco-Turkish exchange -- 2 million expelled by treaty -- established forced transfer as statecraft. The logic returned with devastating force. #DisplacedPeoples #WWII

PROPORTIONAL FACT: 95 million displaced in China. 25 million evacuated in the USSR. 15 million in the Partition of India. 12 million Germans expelled. In most WWII histories, displacement gets a chapter. In this one, it IS the book. #DisplacedPeoples #WWII #ProportionalHistory

In 1922, Vladimir Nabokov received a Nansen Passport -- 'a very inferior document of a sickly green hue.' It acknowledged his existence without granting belonging. This book begins there, with the invention of the modern refugee. #DisplacedPeoples #WWII #RefugeeHistory
