During and after World War I, over one million Ottoman Greeks were
expelled from Turkey, a watershed moment in Greek history that
resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths. And while few dispute
the expulsion's tragic scope, it remains the subject of fierce
controversy, as activists have fought for international recognition
of an atrocity they consider comparable to the Armenian genocide.
This book provides a much-needed analysis of the Greek genocide as
cultural trauma. Neither taking the genocide narrative for granted
nor dismissing it outright, Erik Sjoeberg instead recounts how it
emerged as a meaningful but contested collective memory with both
nationalist and cosmopolitan dimensions.
