Reviews

Antigone Heraclidou's book is important for anybody wanting to engage with modern Cypriot historical experience. [It is an] excellent book. - Robert Holland, Visiting Professor, Centre for Hellenic Studies, King's College London

There is much to appreciate about this book ... I am particularly impressed by the conclusion, which takes the discussion away from the traditional narrative of British efforts at de-Hellenization and 'divide and rule', and looks at understanding the British efforts to create a contemporary education system ... I therefore recommend the book as the most up-to-date on the politics of education in Cyprus for the period 1931-59. * Journal of Contemporary History *
