This book examines the ideological and socio-political discourses
shaping the remembrance and representation of Britain and the
Cyprus conflict of 1974 within Greek Cypriot society. By combining
the official with the popular and drawing on an extensive range of
oral history interviews, this monograph shows that a suspicion born
out of Britain's long (neo-)colonial connection to Cyprus has come
to frame the image and understanding of British actions associated
with the events, and lasting consequences, of 1974. Indeed, with
the island of Cyprus still divided, and the requirement to remember
a national imperative, this book has a direct contemporary
relevance. However, within the existent literature, while much has
been written about the political roots of the Cyprus conflict, no
study has yet sought to systematically analyse and understand the
influences shaping the history and memory of British actions on
Cyprus in 1974. One defined by the existence of 'partitionist'
conspiracies, collusive accusations and a series of memory
distortions which continue to resonate strongly irrespective of the
evidence that is now available. As such, by analysing the
influences shaping the image of Britain in 1974, one can begin to
understand in ever greater detail the Anglo-Greek Cypriot
relationship in a modern context.
