Greek Exodus from Egypt

Angelos Dalachanis is a postdoctoral fellow at Paris-Est Marne-La Vallee University and an associate researcher for the Open Jerusalem project. He received his doctorate from the European University Institute in Florence in 2011 and was an associate research fellow at the Center for Hellenic Studies at Princeton University from 2014 to 2015.

"The research in this outstanding study is of the highest order, unmatched by any other scholar working on the subject. With Dalachanis's magnificent work, the Greeks now have a full account of their activities in modern Egypt." * Robert L. Tignor, Princeton University "This is an excellent, richly documented study of the final phase of the history of the Greeks in Egypt, the largest ethnic group in that country and one of the most important Greek diaspora communities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is conceptually and methodologically well-crafted, and ultimately persuasive." * Alexander Kitroeff, Haverford College
