The Recognition of War Refugees

According to Honneth, the mutual recognition essential for individual autonomy and a just society divides into three forms-love in primary relationships, rights in legal relationships, and solidarity in the community of value. Such recognition has three corresponding forms of disrespect-abuse, exclusion, and denigration, all of which can raise struggles for recognition. An analysis of empirical data-in this case, oral-history reports from Finnish evacuees to Sweden during the Lapland War (1944-1945)-within this framework of recognition reveals detailed information about the refugees' wartime experiences, particularly those that they deemed significant enough to be remembered decades after the event
