Reviews

“This is a timely new edition of a landmark in the scholarship of displacement. Not only an incisive and detailed study of the enduring consequences of forced migration, it highlights the resilience of refugees while never discounting their pain. The lessons of this work remain powerfully relevant today.” • Matthew J. Gibney, Director, Refugee Studies Centre, Oxford Reviews for the Second Edition: “… elegantly written and intellectually coherent … a marvellous study.” • Anthropological Quarterly “By stimulating new debates on important theoretical issues, the book makes essential reading for anyone with an interest in Mediterranean Europe.” • JASO “This well-crafted volume provides … indispensable reading for students of ethnicity in general,and modern Greek society in particular.” • International Migration Review
