'... an important text which could be usefully read alongside other 'post-nationalist' histories... Unlike some texts criticising nationalism in former Ottoman lands, When Greeks and Turks Meet does not romanticise the empire as a haven of multicultural peace. Instead it attempts to demonstrate how the nationalist view of relations between the two peoples is a distinctly modern one that neglects a long history of coexistence... it is an accomplished and accessible text that will be useful to students with an interest in Turkey and Greece, as well as to those interested in the study of nationalism.' LSE Review of Books '... a wide ranging and substantial survey of Greek and Turkish contacts, quarrels and mutual perception since the 1923 Lausanne convention on the exchange of population. It is very much an academic book, fully referenced, up to date with recent theoretical work on matters such as identity, self perceptions, stereotypes, discursie spaces, discourses of exclusion, and all the rest.' The Anglo-Hellenic Review ’...a very useful contribution to a topic of high scholarly and political significance.’ Global Affairs Online
