"Modern Greece is a concise history of the rich and varied experience of Greece and the Greeks over the past two centuries, from the era of independence until near the present day. It dwells on forces that have shaped the country and its people; both the immediacy of great events and those generally slower currents in society that find their identity in terms such as urbanization, economic development, modernization, and cultural change." "As befits its almost unique geographical situation astride the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe, Greece has always been a complex amalgam of peoples and influences. But of course the 'Greek world' has for long meant far more than just the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula. The experience of the Diaspora has been a crucial element in the development of Greece and Greek society. So, too, have relations with Europe and the United States." "Drawing on the latest scholarship, particularly in history and anthropology, but also in archaeology, sociology and political science, Gallant has given us a portrait of the Greek past that is wise, well-rounded and (sometimes) provocative."--Jacket.
