Book Synopsis Heirs of the Greek Catastrophe by : Renée Hirschon
Book excerpt: In 1923, after war between Greece and Turkey, 350,000 Muslims were expelled from Greece and over a million Orthodox Christians entered the country. This ethnography of Kokkinia, an urban quarter in Piraeus, reveals that its inhabitants, 50 years after settlement, had a marked sense of identity separate from that of other Greeks. First published in 1989 by Oxford University Press, New York, this paperback edition contains a new preface by the author and a new foreword. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
