Description
Xeniteia, or sojourning in foreign parts, is central to the experience of the Greek people in modern times. Yet the study of the emergence and present state of the Greek communities, in many cases large and prosperous, that exist in many parts of the world has not so far received the attention it deserves. This volume brings together studies of a number of the major communities of the diaspora: the United States, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Russia/Georgia and Egypt. An intro-ductory chapter traces the emergence from the eighteenth century onwards of the present world-wide dispersion of Greeks and a concluding chapter addresses questions of identity that necessarily arise in any consideration of diaspora communities. The Greeks constitute one of the world's archetypal diasporas. The essays gathered in this volume help to explain why this is so. They raise broader questions which will be of interest to students of diasporas in general, as modern communications make it easier for diaspora communities to sustain contact with the homeland and for the 'national centre' to seek to mobilise the political and economic resources of diaspora communities in the national interest.

Description
The Greeks constitute one of the archetypal diasporas. This volume brings together studies of some of the major Greek communities outside the bounds of the Greek state: the United States, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Russia/Georgia and Egypt. An introductory chapter traces the emergence of the Greek diaspora in modern times and a concluding one considers questions of identity central to discussions of all diaspora communities. Globalization has highlighted the economic and political significance of diasporas. This volume affords an up-to-date analysis of the Greek presence in the modern world.
