The relationship between the history, culture and peoples of
Greece, Turkey and Cyprus is often reduced to an equation which
defines one side in opposition to the other.The reality is much
more complex and while there have been and remain significant
divisions there are many, and arguably more, areas of overlap,
commonality and common interest.This book addresses a gap in the
scholarly literature by bringing together specialists from
different disciplinary traditions - history, sociology,
anthropology, linguistics, literature, ethnomusicology and
international relations, so as to examine the relationship between
Greeks and Turks, as well as between Greek Cypriots and Turkish
Cypriots, since the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923.
When Greeks and Turks Meet aims to contribute to current critical
and comparative approaches to the study of this complex
relationship in order to question essentialist representations,
stereotypes and dominant myths and understand the context and
ideology of events, processes and experience. Starting from this
interdisciplinary perspective and taking both diachronic and
synchronic approaches, the book offers a fresh coverage of key
themes including memory, history and loss; the politics of
identity, language and culture; discourses of inclusion and
exclusion. Contributors focus on the geographical areas of Greece,
Turkey and Cyprus and on the modern historical period (since 1923)
up to the present day, offering in some cases an informed
perspective that looks towards the future. When Greeks and Turks
Meet will be essential reading for students and researchers working
on the cross-roads of Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, on South-East
Europe and the Middle East more generally. It will also be a
valuable resource for students and researchers in inter-cultural
communication, cultural and media studies, language and education,
international relations and politics, refugee and migration
studies, conflict and post-conflict studies.
