Routledge - Stirring the Greek Nation (1945-1967) History Book

Explore the complex landscape of Greek nationalist politics in this scholarly work from Routledge. Covering the period from the end of the Second World War to the collapse of constitutional rule in 1967, this book examines how public opinion shaped responses to international events and territorial claims. Readers will gain insight into how public mobilization on foreign policy issues built a unique political culture. This culture integrated elements of nationalism, religion, and race, alongside specific stereotypes regarding the national Self and the Other. This text provides a necessary challenge to common historical assumptions. While many believe Greek irredentism died after the Asia Minor catastrophe, this study shows its continued presence and influence during the post-war era. It is an essential resource for those studying European history, Greek political development, and the evolution of national identity.
