2007041629London: Tauris Academic Studies 2007 Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. 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.

2015200603<p>In English. Soft cover 29 cm 248 pp. ill. ISBN: 978-960-6878-91-6.</p><p>Gerald Cadogan’s contributions to the archaeology of the East Mediterranean are directly related to the two great Islands Crete and Cyprus where he has directed excavations at Myrtos – Pyrgos and Maroni – Vournes respectively. This volume comprising mostly Cretan and Cypriot studies is offered by an array of scholars who have been taught or examined by Cadogan or who have collaborated with him in the field or excavation workrooms over the last fifty years. More than thirty short papers reflect Cadogan’s wide range of interests from interpreting excavation data – architecture stratigraphy pottery and small finds – to matters of prehistoric chronology ethnography and gender technology environment and osteology mythology and iconography religion and death. The collection is a fascinating testament to the continuing achievements of one of the finest archaeologists of the region.</p><p>=========================================================</p><p><strong>IMPORTANT: The price does NOT include the shipping cost which depends on actual weight and destination.

199234332Cambridge University Press. 1992. Softcover. Very Good. Scholars' bookplate to inner cover Slater & Dunbabin. Minor creasing lower corner of DJ.; The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation from 1952 onwards of the first Greek establishment in the West Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages . 0521421640 .
