By looking at the very specific case of the Greek-speaking
Romaniote and the Ladino-speaking Sephardic communities in Southern
Greece, Epirus and Macedonia, this book explores the attitudes and
policies of the Greek state with regards to the Jewish communities
both within its borders and in the areas of the Ottoman Empire it
craved. Evdoxios Doxiadis traces the evolution of these policies
from the time of Greek independence to the expansion of the Greek
state in the early-20th century, telling us a great deal about the
Jewish experience and the changing face of modern Greek nationalism
in the process. Based on the evidence of numerous Greek consular
reports, speeches, memoirs, political interviews and coverage of
the status and treatment of the communities by the international
Jewish press, State, Nationalism, and the Jewish Communities of
Modern Greece sketches a detailed picture of the Greek political
elite and the state's bureaucratic view of the various Jewish
communities. By focusing on the state, though not ignoring popular
attitudes, the book successfully argues that the Greek state
followed policies that did not conform, and often were in
opposition to, popular attitudes when it came to minorities and the
Jews in particular. By focusing on the Jewish communities in modern
Greece separately the book allows us to recognize how Greek
governments recognized and used divisions and conflicts between the
communities, and other minorities, to achieve their goals. As a
result Greek state policies can be seen in a new light, providing a
more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the
Jewish people and the Greek state. Using this case study, Doxiadis
then discusses broader questions of state, nationalism and
minorities in a volume of significant interest for students and
scholars of modern Greek or modern Jewish history alike.
