Download or read book Out of the Balkans written by Jason C Mavrovitis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Out of the Balkans," family and ancestors spring alive from the pages in images and language. It contains a wealth of information about Greek colonies of the Diaspora, and the lives of early twentieth century Greek immigrants to the United States. Rarely does a well-researched and finely written account like this surface. Researchers with Greek-speaking ancestors from Bulgarian Greek colonies or Macedonia, areas whose histories are filled with conflict and struggle during this last century, will find this superb text especially helpful. Because genealogical resources (in English or Greek) for research in Hellenic ancestry are so sparse, finding extensive background information about Greek-speaking peoples from northern areas of the Balkans, particularly Bulgaria, is invaluable.

Download or read book Macedonia and Greece written by John Shea and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the breakup of the former Yugoslavia and a pending NATO membership bid, an old conflict between Greece and Macedonia has taken on added significance for the international community. Greece has vehemently argued, particularly in the West, that the name Macedonia was in fact Greek and that its use by this new nation in the Balkans portended Macedonia's expansionist ambitions. The Macedonians bitterly disputed this, noting that Alexander the Great was a Macedonian, and adducing many other fascinating and rational arguments. Tensions were said to have been reduced by an interim agreement between the two countries, but the attempted assassination of Macedonian president Kiro Gligorov in October 1995 has again heightened hostility in the area. The genesis of the conflict is detailed here, as well as the modern day events that have led many observers to believe that the area is a flashpoint for a major war, greater than that in Bosnia.
Download or read book Widows written by Ariel Dorfman and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a Greek village in 1942, and purportedly written from his imagination by a Danish man before he was picked up by the Gestapo and not seen again, here is Ariel Dorfman’s haunting and universal parable of individual courage in the face of political oppression. Widows forms a testament to the disappeared—those living under totalitarian regimes the world over, who are taken away for "questioning" and never return. One by one, the bodies of men wash up on the shore of the river, where they are claimed by the women of the local town as husbands and fathers, even though the faces of the dead men are unrecognizable. A tug-of-war ensues between the local police, who insist that the women couldn’t possibly recognize their loved ones, and the women demanding the right to bury their beloveds. As it evolves, the stand-off reveals itself to be a power struggle between love, dignity and honor, and the lesser god of brute force. A lesson in how power really works, and how it can be made to work differently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story starts in Turkey in 1915 during the First World War at Kouvouklie, a village near Bursa in Asia Minor. My father was only a little boy when he saw his father momentarily before he escaped from the Ottoman Turkey prison in Bursa. His only crime was his Christian faith. He disappeared into the night leaving the family to survive. The Greek and Turkey governments had agreed to exchange their populations in 1922, uprooting over 1,500,000 Asian Minor Greeks while 500,000 Turkish people were evicted from Greece. The Asian Minor Greeks were told that they were going to their promised land. However, they ended up in refugee camps in Thessaloniki Greece. These were turbulent and horrendous times. My family were eventually allocated homes and settled in northern Greece. When the World War II broke my father was conscripted leaving the family to survive. The Italians attacked Greece and they were followed by the Germans, the family suffered many hardships. This story is my family’s battle for survival. My brother migrated to Australia in 1954 and then sponsored the whole family in 1955. My family found at last a home where they could live in peace. This is our Promised Land.
Download or read book The Destruction of Cities in the Ancient Greek World written by Sylvian Fachard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Trojan War to the sack of Rome, from the fall of Constantinople to the bombings of World War II and the recent devastation of Syrian towns, the destruction of cities and the slaughter of civilian populations are among the most dramatic events in world history. But how reliable are literary sources for these events? Did ancient authors exaggerate the scale of destruction to create sensational narratives? This volume reassesses the impact of physical destruction on ancient Greek cities and its demographic and economic implications. Addressing methodological issues of interpreting the archaeological evidence for destructions, the volume examines the evidence for the destruction, survival, and recovery of Greek cities. The studies, written by an international group of specialists in archaeology, ancient history, and numismatic, range from Sicily to Asia Minor and Aegean Thrace, and include Athens, Corinth, and Eretria. They highlight the resilience of ancient populations and the recovery of cities in the long term.
