Reviews

Ushers the reader into the complexities of the categorical ambiguity of Cyprus [and] ... concentrates ... on the Dead Zone of the divided society, in the cultural space where those who refuse to go to the poles gather. --Anastasia Karakasidou, Wellesley College Of the recent publications on the Cyprus Problem , Divided Cyprus ranks amongst the best. It is scholarly, very well conceived, nicely structured, and expertly executed. Most importantly, it is thought provoking. I highly recommend it to any serious scholar of Cyprus' past and present, and to those interested in its future progress. --THE CYPRUS REVIEW (VOL. 18:2, FALL 2006)
