The presentation of the entire corpus of Ionian Island constitutional texts many of which have not been readily available to the reading public before now is accompanied here by the insight of political and constitutional historians in specially commissioned introductory chapters.

2013041054Berghahn Books 2013 Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. Putting Greece back on the cultural and political map of the "Long 1960s" this book traces the dissent and activism of anti-regime students during the dictatorship of the Colonels 1967-74. It explores the cultural as well as ideological protest of Greek student activists illustrating how these "children of the dictatorship" managed to re-appropriate indigenous folk tradition for their "progressive" purposes and how their transnational exchange molded a particular local protest culture. It examines how the students social and political practices became a major source of pressure on the Colonels regime finding its apogee in the three day Polytechnic uprising of November 1973 which laid the foundations for a total reshaping of Greek political culture in the following decades.

200536482Washington: American Hellenic Institute Foundation 2005 Book. New Book from Publisher. Hardcover. 1st US Ed. A powerful autobiography set in the turbulent decade of 1940s Greece. Through the eyes of an impressionable and intelligent young man who came of age in a time of world war foreign occupation resistance and civil war we witness the tragedy and trauma suffered by Greece. While uniquely personal this is also the story of young Greeks cast unwillingly into the ambivalences and horrors of WWII.The authors descriptions are vivid and convincing. Against a rigorously researched backdrop of the key historical events we see youthful idealism being forcibly reconciled to the realities of hunger brutality dissension and death. With a keen eye for detail and reflecting on the mundane as well as the profound we watch as Greece patriotically fends off foreign invasion and survives years of harsh occupation but gullibly and disastrously succumbs to the blandishments of utopians.

201535310Oxbow Books. 2015. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Slight waviness to endpapers.; This is an exciting time to study in Athens. The “rescue” excavations of recent years conducted during construction of the Metro system and in preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games combined with major restoration projects and a new enthusiasm for fresh examination of old material using new techniques and applications brings new perspectives and answers on many aspects of the ancient city of Athens and life politics and religion in Attica. The 15 papers presented here contribute new findings that result from intensive first-hand examinations of the archaeological and epigraphical evidence. They illustrate how much may be gained by re-examining material from older excavations and from the methodological shift from documenting information to closer analysis and larger historical reflection. They offer a variety of perspectives on a range of issues: the ambience of the ancient city for passers-by filled with roadside shrines; techniques of architectural construction and sculpting; religious expression in Athens including cults of Asklepios and Serapis; the precise procedures for Greek sacrifice; how the borders of Attica were defined over time and details of its road-system. In presenting this volume the contributors are continuing in a long tradition of autopsy – in the sense of 'personal observation' – in Athens that began even in the Hellenistic period and has continued through the writings of centuries of travellers and academics to the present day.; 11.3 X 8.8 X 0.7 inches; 224 pages . 1782978569 .
