### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Having lived in Greece for many years, I was pleased to have an impartial resource.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on 21 February 2010*

Highly recommended. The bibliography is superb.As presented in this book, the history of the consequences, mostly unintended, of the Treaty of Lausanne help to explain a great deal of life in modern day Greece. Why do so many Greek songs, both modern and 'laika,' speak of leaving and yearning for a homeland? Why does every region of Greece call itself the 'real Greece'? Why do so many people in northern Greece speak a little Turkish and Russian...and curse so fluently? Where did the expression "O thanatos sou einai n zwn mou... (""Your death is my life..." apologies for the attempt at transcription) arise in the national soul? Can there really such a thing as an ethnic identity, in Greece and Turkey, as well as elsewhere?One could read this book in search of answers to the many questions that arise on a daily basis about this infuriatingly beloved adopted homeland of mine, but I found as much food for thought in the applications of the well-intentioned actions of so many government and international political agencies today, right now, and a well-researched lesson in unintended consequences. Perhaps we can apply these concepts to the decisions we are making today in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

    Well written, well presented and objective
  

*by F***7 on Reviewed in the United States on 22 January 2013*

I found the first and the last chapters the most rewarding in appreciating the problems and solutions of population exchanges based on religion or any other criterion.  The chapters in between present details of the exchange both from the administrative and the persons involved points of view in this forced relocation.  An interesting concept in nation building, I find the concept of religious "purity" a very difficult one to overcome in building cooperation and coexistence in the future.An easy book to read and to enjoy the presentation of the underlying concepts in a sensitive and thought provoking manner.

    End of Multiculturalism
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on 20 August 2012*

This is a fascinating subject. I do not entirely share the author's sceptisism about the Lausanne process given the histocal context: The multi-cultural Ottoman state had died along with multiculturalism. As the author indicates the idea for "unmixing" the population was proposed by Europe which itself has ever been failing to practice multiculturalisim "miserably".The book contains some errors. For example, there couldn't have been a "Fethiye Bey".Judging by the way different groups of people subjected to the population exchange are described one is left with the impression that all were Greeks in actuality. According to the author there were Cretan Muslims who spoke Greek, Thracian Muslims who were actually Greek speaking crypto-Christians, Pontic Greeks, other Orthodox Christian Greeks, and finally Turkish-speaking Cappadocian Christians (Karamans) who also must have forgotten their original Greek language. There is also repeated references to Greeks and Muslims instead of Christians and Muslims or Greeks and Turks. (I am not referring to the text of the Lausanne agreement) But this kind of bias has always been present in the west. We do not see foreign TV correspondents standing in front of a church when reporting from a majority-Christian country, say, Sweeden but when they report from a secular country with a majority-Muslim population the background is almost always a mosque and the country is referred to as a "Muslim" country. This book is also a product of that mentality despite the author's effort to remain impartial.
