About this book
Reviews
“Due to the sovereign debt crisis a multitude of sensibilities emerged as to how other Europeans apprehend Greeks and how the latter view themselves. This ingenious and timely collection confers added value to the hitherto analyses of Greece-under-crisis by deciphering undercurrent meaning-making processes shaped by crypt-colonial and orientalist stereotypes and myths in an interplay of inside-out, bottom-up, and top-down perspectives.” (Nicolas Demertzis, Professor of Political Sociology and Communication, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Director & President of the National Centre for Social Research, Greece)
