This book offers a provocative theorization of nationhood, focusing on the key role played by dialogic relations of hegemony, resistance and reciprocity in the birth of the modern European nation. The relationship between Greece and Britain at the end of the nineteenth century uncovers the linguistic construction of nationalism.

Recensioner i media

'...a refreshing critical book that complements a relatively long list of Anglophone (as well as Greek) literature on modern Greece and its nation formation endeavours. The book is innovative in its perspective, truly interdisciplinary and although much of the historical details and sources cited may attract the interest mainly of experts, its plain style makes it attractive to the general reader too.' - Nations and Nationalism
