Summary:

"The 2nd edition of Nicholas Doumanis’sA History of Greece provides a masterful exploration of Greek history from early antiquity to the present. Doumanis surveys the ancient, medieval and modern periods to convincingly make the case for Greek culture’s robustness having stemmed from its willing and repeated engagement with other cultures throughout history. Drawing on a wealth of sources, the book offers a comprehensive examination of the development and transformations of Greek politics, culture and society from the earliest times to the Greece of today. This edition includes, for the first time:· A new introduction which details the complex relationship between Greeks today and the Greeks of antiquity, and the reasons why historical controversies can and have spilled over into mass protests in the region · New sections and added material on social change and the environment, women, minorities, religion, Cyprus and the wider Greek world/diaspora · A brand new chapter - Modernity, the Liberation of Cyprus and Times of Crisis (1974-present) – which examines how Greece found political stability in the aftermath of the tumultuous crisis decade of the 2010s, while the Republic of Cyprus was liberated, invaded and divided · An enhanced visual component with over four times as many images and ten maps · Historiographical updates throughout"-- Bloomsbury Collections
