  • More about The Nation's Gratitude: World War I and Citizenship Rights in Interwar Romania

This study highlights the laws and policies developed in response to World War I, focusing on the responses of veterans, widows, and orphans. It emphasizes how ordinary citizens became educated about and used state institutions, highlighting the class, ethnic, religious, and gender norms of the day. The book offers a vivid case study of how disability as a personal reality for many veterans became a point of policymaking, a story that has seen little scholarly interest. The analysis provides insights of great interest to scholars of these themes and offers examples of engaged citizenship useful for an undergraduate and nonspecialist audience.

A groundbreaking contribution to the history of veterans' rights in Romania, this study sheds light on the laws and policies enacted by the state in response to the unprecedented human casualties of World War I. Through engaging and accessible language, it explores the diverse reactions of veterans, widows, and orphans to these policies, highlighting how ordinary citizens utilized state institutions to reinforce prevailing class, ethnic, religious, and gender norms of the time. The book presents a captivating case study of how disability, as a personal reality for many veterans, became a focal point of policymaking, a narrative that has received limited scholarly attention despite the significant impact it had on the lives of numerous populations. Overall, this monograph demonstrates how citizenship as an active practice was shaped by both government policies and the interpretations provided by a diverse range of beneficiaries in postwar European states. The analysis offers valuable insights to scholars of these topics, while also providing practical examples of engaged citizenship that can be of interest to an undergraduate and non-specialist audience.
