This book examines the memories that shaped Asia Minor refugee identity, focusing on the ways in which these memories continue to reverberate in contemporary Greek culture. It explores how memories of Asia Minor frame wider social debates, foster affective alliances, inform different notions of belonging and provide a toolkit for addressing contemporary concerns. Taking the reader across a wide range of cultural workshistory textbooks, comics, theatre, documentary and fiction films, news footage and photographythe book shows how these works have become means for individuals and communities to contribute to the process of history-making. While keeping its focus on present-day Greece, Memories of Asia Minor joins wider global debates over contested pasts, legacies of war and refugeehood Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Nation-building -- Greece Nation-building -- Turkey Greco-Turkish War, 1921-1922 -- Influence Greco-Turkish War, 1921-1922 -- Refugees Civilization Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) Nation-building Refugees SUBJECT Greece -- Civilization -- 20th century. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85057044 Turkey -- Civilization -- 20th century Greece -- History -- 20th century. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh86002001 Turkey -- History -- 20th century. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85138829 Subject Greece Turkey Genre/Form Electronic books History Form Electronic book ISBN 9783030839369 3030839362
