Description
A new and innovative account of modern Greek history covering the last 100 yearsDraws on recent research on popular culture, social memory and other areas of innovative analysis that have not yet been incorporated into any histories of modern GreeceDetails the full significance of the changing experiences of women throughout the centuryIncorporates the history of Cyprus and the experiences of Greek communities in the diaspora, whose histories were indelibly tied with the Greek nationThis volume deals with a tumultuous yet transformative era in Greek history.
During the twentieth century, most Greeks abandoned the countryside for the cities or the expanding global diaspora.
Greek and Cypriot societies became urbanised, secularised and more 'western'.
Since the Balkan Wars they have also lurched from crisis to crisis, having experienced two destructive war decades (1912 1922 and 1940 1949), the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 and the economic crises of the 2010s.
Focusing on the relationship between state and society, as well as on Greeks' place in the wider world, this book considers how Greeks have engaged with global change and the impact of international factors on their lives.
