Description
Greece: A Modern Sequel, from 1831 to the Present offers a meticulously researched history of Greece, exploring vital aspects of the country's phenomenon. Organized around themes such as politics, institutions, society, ideology, foreign policy, geography, and culture, this modern history challenges established notions and stereotypes that have disfigured Greek history. By juxtaposing the principles that inspired the founding fathers of the Greek state with contemporary practices, Koliopoulos and Veremis outline the resulting tensions in Greek society as it enters the new millennium. This fresh look at Greece aims to encourage a re-evaluation of the country and its people, revealing a modern, diverse, and strong nation. A thoroughly documented work, Greece: A Modern Sequel is recommended for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of this complex history.
