Description of  Greek-Albanian Entanglements since the Nineteenth Century (Routledge Histories of Central and Eastern Europe)

1032123753 rar This book is a comprehensive study of more than 200 years of the shared and interconnected histories of Greek-Albanian relations, a field of inquiry that has not attracted the international scholarly attention it deserves. The book presents and analyses in detail topics including the contested borderland (18001912), the Greek Revolution (18211830) and Greek- Albanian entanglements during the Greek Revolution, Greek nationalism (identity and narrative), the Albanians (pre-modernism, belated nationalism, origin), the rise of Albanian nationalism, Albanian national identity and historical narrative, Greek-Albanian relations from the League of Prizren (1878) until Albanias declaration of independence (1912), Greek irredentism (the "Northern Epirus Question", 19121920) and Albanias precarious independence, Greek irredentism and Greek-Albanian relations (the "Northern Epirus Question", 19401971), the Greek minority in Albania, the Cham (Muslim Albanian) issue, the turbulent first part of the 1990s, the pending Greek-Albanian issues, and public opinion. It concludes with a road map for an eventual Albanian-Greek reconciliation. Read more
