How do people who were part of an extant socioeconomic and
political system adapt in another world order? This book
ethnographically addresses the two complementary processes of
Pontic Greeks' ethnic displacement over a century: diaspora and
repatriation. Longitudinal data is employed to argue that the
concept of 'repatriation' should be construed as 'affinal', in the
sense of 'return to each other', rather than 'return to a place'.
The book documents the impact of multiple persecutions under
Stalinism on the formation of a Soviet Greek collective identity.
It explores the meaning of 'repatriation' and the emergence of a
European identity as an option. The acquisition of this novel
identity becomes a privilege entailing the right to move across and
within the borders of Europe.
