Más información sobre el libro

The exploration of the Ottoman past in contemporary Greek society highlights the impact of changing geopolitical dynamics since 1989. This study delves into the transition from cultural diversity during the Ottoman Empire to national homogenization, influenced by immigration and improved Turkish relations. It analyzes how narratives of cultural coexistence under Ottoman rule shape national identity and self-awareness, reflecting ongoing cultural battles. The book situates these discussions within the broader context of East-West tensions and Greece’s European identity.
