ISBN-13: 978-1862079243. Th e title says it all. Th is book draws inspiration from an exchangee’s poem, Twice a Stranger , which describes how it feels to be a stranger in the birthplace and in the new homeland.

Clark investigates the necessity of the population exchange through micro and macro level analyses. Th e author brings to light memories and stories of people who expereinced the population exchange on both sides, while analyzing what led the governments to opt for it. He also investigates the the powers and international organizations that supported the initiative by referencing diplomatic records, newspaper articles, and memoirs of important fi gures who took part in the formulation of the project.
