And while few dispute the expulsion’s tragic scope, it remains the subject of fierce controversy, as activists have fought for international recognition of an atrocity they consider comparable to the Armenian genocide. This book provides a much-needed analysis of the Greek genocide as cultural trauma. Neither taking the genocide narrative for granted nor dismissing it outright, Erik Sjöberg instead recounts how it emerged as a meaningful but contested collective memory with both nationalist and cosmopolitan dimensions UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781785333262?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781785333262 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781785333262/original ER -
