"'Greeces twentieth-century history not unlike that of a large portion of the rest of Europe has been marked by frequent wars economic underdevelopment deep political fissures political clientelism and frequent as well as competing foreign intervention in the country's domestic affairs. In political science terms the countrys democratic system was less than consolidated in the sense that it was marked by frequent military intervention in politics. This book reconstructs Greeces melancholy political landscape during the dark years of the colonels dictatorship. The author conducted scores of interviews with prominent political figures e.g. Constantine Karamanlis Andreas Papandreou Panayiotis Kanellopoulos Constantine Mitsotakis Mikis Theodorakis Georgios Mavros Archbishop Makarios and former King Constantine. He also met with some functionaries representing the Greek junta and with a number of American diplomats. These interviews recorded over thirty years ago mirror the attitudes and mentalities of political protagonists of that time and could be treated as primary source material for historians who still need to produce a detached and dispassionate record of those trying times." 344p. index.

2007réf. 041629London: Tauris Academic Studies 2007 Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. International Library of Political Studies Volume 22 "How do those living in diaspora form their own national and transnational identity The Greek Idea offers a new critical paradigm from which to explore these identities. Drawing upon postcolonial theory Maria Koundoura addresses and analyzes the cultural material that produced Greeces representation as both Europes origin and "other". The long association of Greece and English Literature began with English travellers' "discovery" of Greece in the late-eighteenth century and the reinforcement of the myth which placed Greece as the location of Western culture. However Greece now finds itself on the boundary of a Europe which had originally placed it at the center. Koundoura maps what this dual representation signifies for Greeks both national and diasporic. In doing so she touches on England Greece the United States Australia and twentieth century diaspora cultures. For scholars of postcolonial English European Balkan Modern Greek and Diaspora studies this fascinating contribution to the growing area of transnational culture studies opens up the critical discourse in their field." 214p.bibiography index.
