Focusing on questions that seek to illuminate vital aspects of the Greek
phenomenon, this modern history of Greece is organized around themes
such as politics, institutions, society, ideology, foreign policy,
geography, and culture. Making clear their predilection for the
principles that inspired the founding fathers of the Greek state,
Koliopoulos and Veremis juxtapose these principles to contemporary
practices, and outline the resulting tensions in Greek society as it
enters the new millenium.
Challenging established notions and stereotypes that have disfigured
Greek history, Greece: A Modern Sequel is meant to encourage a fresh
look at the country and its people. In the process, a portrait of a new
Greece emerges: modern, diverse, and strong.
