Of the many European territorial reconfigurations that followed the
wars of the early nineteenth century, the Ionian State remains
among the least understood. Xenocracy offers a much-needed account
of the region during its half-century as a Protectorate of Great
Britain-a period that embodied all of the contradictions of British
colonialism. A middle class of merchants, lawyers and state
officials embraced and promoted a liberal modernization project.
Yet despite the improvements experienced by many Ionians, the
deterioration of state finances led to divisions along class lines
and presented a significant threat to social stability. As author
Sakis Gekas shows, the ordeal engendered dependency upon and
ambivalence toward Western Europe, anticipating the "neocolonial"
condition with which the Greek nation struggles even today.
