London formed the centre of the global internment system which meant the incarceration of enemy aliens in camps throughout the Empire. The symbol of internment consisted of the Isle of Man, which, housed two camps in Douglas and, above all, Knockaloe, through which over thirty thousand people passed, many of whom would remain for years. This paper will begin with an introduction on the adoption of a policy of internment within Britain and then move on to the decision to use the Isle of Man to hold German civilians. It will focus upon the all male internees held here and analyse their experiences. Two key paradigms emerged on incarceration during the First World War. The first constructed a psychosis called barbed wire disease, put forward particularly by the Swiss psychologist A. L. Vischer, who visited Douglas and Knockaloe on several occasions on behalf of the Swiss Embassy, which looked after German interests in Britain from 1917. The alternative view, which evolved decades later, developed the idea of a prisoners’ camp society, put forward by John Davidson Ketchum, who had spent time as a national of the British Empire, in the internment camp in Ruhleben in Berlin during the Great War. Using a wide range of sources, this paper will ask whether the prisoners became victims of depression or managed to overcome the problems thrown up by years of internment by developing social and cultural activity.Item Embargo The bewildered peasant: family, migration and murder in the Greek Cypriot community in London(Oxford University Press, 2021-11-08) Panayi, Panikos; Varnava, AndrekosGreek Cypriots became a key feature of early post-Second World War London. This article focuses on the case of the penultimate woman hanged in Britain, Styllou Christofi, who was executed in December 1954 for the murder of her German-born daughter-in-law, Hella. It outlines the emergence of the Cypriot community in London, tackles the image of the Cypriot in the British imperial imagination and investigates the hostility that this new community faced in Britain. The article investigates the nature of family in Cyprus and London and questions why Cypriots have received so little attention from historians, despite their numbers.Item Metadata only Change and continuity: German history 1919-45.(Sempringham, 2002) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only Conclusion and legacies.(Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) Panayi, Panikos; Virdee, PippaWhile it may not have acted as the only factor in the creation of refugees during the course of the twentieth century, the collapse of empire both inside and outside Europe played a major role in defining the last century as the one in which the refugees became an ever-present phenomenon globally. As the Preface and the individual essays, especially in parts one and two, make clear, two key issues fed the link between imperial collapse and the end of empire.Item Metadata only Continuities and discontinuities in German history 1919-45(Longman, 2001) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only Continuities and discontinuities in race: Jews, Gypsies and Slavs under the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich.(Longman, 2001) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only Cosmopolis: London’s ethnic minorities(Reaktion, 2003) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only Cypriots in Great Britain since 1945.(Cambridge University Press, 2011) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only The Elimination of Germans from the British Empire at the end of the First World War(Manchester University Press, 2022-01-26) Panayi, PanikosDuring the course of the nineteenth century millions of Germans left their homeland to settle throughout the world. While most went towards the Americas, hundreds of thousands moved to Britain and its Empire consisting of those with agricultural and working class backgrounds, as well as elites. By 1914, despite rising Germanophobia as the Great War approached, the migrants remained an integrated group. My article will demonstrate how the development of a Germanophobic ideology, emanating from London, but present throughout British possessions in an equally virulent manner, had a devastating impact upon the German communities. The racist ideology meant that Germans faced a combination of draconian measures in the form of internment, property confiscation and deportation. The paper will focus upon the last of these, demonstrating that, while expulsions took place throughout the War, especially against women, who generally escaped the gendered internment policy, the ‘extirpation – root and branch and seed - of German control and influence from the British Empire’, as put forward by the London based Germanophobic pressure group the British Empire Union, became imperial policy. My paper will focus upon the marginalization of the Germans during the Great War and their elimination at its conclusion, which became total in some cases (such as India) and partial in others (such as Great Britain). The article will demonstrate how the plight of the Germans at the end of the First world War fits into the wider picture of minority persecution during the era of the Great War as Empires collapsed.Item Metadata only Enemies in the Empire: Civilian Internment in the British Empire during the First World War(Oxford University Press, 2020-03-05) Panayi, Panikos; Manz, StefanDuring the First World War, Britain was the epicentre of global mass internment and deportation operations. Germans, Austro-Hungarians, Turks, and Bulgarians who had settled in Britain and its overseas territories were deemed to be a potential danger to the realm through their ties with the Central Powers and were classified as 'enemy aliens'. A complex set of wartime legislation imposed limitations on their freedom of movement, expression, and property possession. Approximately 50,000 men and some women experienced the most drastic step of enemy alien control, namely internment behind barbed wire, in many cases for the whole duration of the war and thousands of miles away from the place of arrest. Enemies in the Empire is the first study to analyse British internment operations against civilian 'enemies' during the First World War from an imperial perspective. The narrative takes a three-pronged approach. In addition to a global examination, the volume demonstrates how internment operated on a (proto-) national scale within the three selected case studies of the metropole (Britain), a white dominion (South Africa), and a colony under direct rule (India). Stefan Manz and Panikos Panayi then bring their study to the local level by concentrating on the three camps Knockaloe (Britain), Fort Napier (South Africa), and Ahmednagar (India), allowing for detailed analyses of personal experiences. Although conditions were generally humane, in some cases, suffering occurred. The study argues that the British Empire played a key role in developing civilian internment as a central element of warfare and national security on a global scale.Item Metadata only An ethnic history of Europe since 1945: Nations, states and minorities.(Longman, 1999) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only Ethnic minorities in nineteenth and twentieth century Germany: Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Turks and others.(Longman, 2000) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only Ethnic Minority creation in modern Europe: Cyprus in context.(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2009) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only Everyday life in a German town(2002-09) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only The evolution of multiculturalism in Britain and Germany: An historical survey(Taylor and Francis, 2004) Panayi, PanikosItem Metadata only Item Metadata only Fish and chips: a history.(Reaktion Books, 2014) Panayi, Panikos
