This book explores the increasing interest in the Ottoman past in
contemporary Greek society and its cultural sphere. It considers
how the changing geo-political balances in South-East Europe since
1989 have offered Greek society an occasion to re-examine the
transition from cultural diversity in the imperial context, to
efforts to homogenize culture in the subsequent national contexts.
This study shows how contemporary immigration and better relations
with Turkey led to new directions in historiography, fiction and
popular culture in the beginning of the twenty-first century. It
focuses on how narratives about cultural co-existence under Ottoman
rule are used as a prism of national self-awareness and argues that
the interpretations of Greece's Ottoman legacy are part of the
cultural battles over national identity and belonging. The book
examines these narratives within the context of tension between
East and West and, not least, Greece's place in Europe.
