This book argues that two conflicting styles of nationalist
imagination led to the violent rending of Cyprus in 1974 and
sustained that division over decades. Based on comparative research
in both southern and northern Cyprus, the work demonstrates how the
conflict emerged through Cypriots' encounters with modernity under
British colonialism, and through a consequent re-imagining of the
body politic in a new world in which Cypriots were defined as part
of a European periphery. The book describes how Muslims and
Christians in Cyprus were transformed into Turks and Greeks, and
what it meant--epistemologically, ontologically, and
politically--when they were.
