International Library of Political Studies (Volume 22) "How do those living in diaspora form their own national and transnational identity? The Greek Idea offers a new critical paradigm from which to explore these identities. Drawing upon postcolonial theory, Maria Koundoura addresses and analyzes the cultural material that produced Greeces representation as both Europes origin and "other". The long association of Greece and English Literature began with English travellers' "discovery" of Greece in the late-eighteenth century and the reinforcement of the myth which placed Greece as the location of Western culture. However Greece now finds itself on the boundary of a Europe which had originally placed it at the center. Koundoura maps what this dual representation signifies for Greeks, both national and diasporic. In doing so she touches on England, Greece, the United States, Australia and twentieth century diaspora cultures. For scholars of postcolonial, English, European, Balkan, Modern Greek, and Diaspora studies this fascinating contribution to the growing area of transnational culture studies opens up the critical discourse in their field." 214p.bibiography index.

xi, 200 pages. Bibliography. "Takes us inside the Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en peoples' campaign for justice and recognition. Glavin shows how their struggle, which is taking place within Canada's legal system as well on the land itself in a series of roadblocks, is rooted in their view that their relationship to the land is one of responsibility - for the land , and to the generations to come. A rich and fascinating blend of past and present, this timely book will forever change the way readers think of the 'land claims' issue." - dust jacket.
