Stefanos Katsikas is Associate Director of the Center for Hellenic
Studies and Assistant Instructional Professor at the University of
Chicago. He holds a PhD in Social Sciences from the School of
Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) at University College
London (UCL). His research interests lie in the field of modern and
contemporary history of Southeastern Europe, especially in the
study of democratization, regional security, and
minority-state relations. He is the author of Negotiating Diplomacy
in the New Europe: Foreign Policy in the Post-Communist Bulgaria
(2011), which received a Scouloudi publication award from the
Institute of Historical Research
in London. Katsikas is also the editor of Bulgaria and Europe:
Shifting Identities (2010); and co-editor of State Nationalism in
the Ottoman Empire, Greece and Turkey: Orthodox and Muslims
(1830-1945) (2012).
Noting the under-researched nature of his topic, Katsikas offers
the results of more than twenty years' work in this volume.
*Daniel Pipes, Middle East Quarterly*
As Greece commemorates the bicentenary of its War of Independence,
this is a timely study of the complex minority issue that emerged.
It is a thoroughly researched account of the fate of the Muslim
minority incorporated into the new nation. It provides expert,
well-judged analysis over a terrain covered in sensitivities and
controversy. It opens the door for future researchers.
*Kevin Featherstone, Elefterios Venizelos Professor in Contemporary
Greek Studies and European Politics, London School of Economics and
Political Science*
An important and fascinating history of a neglected population and
subject. Katsikas deftly traces the changing meanings of
nationality, religion, and belonging in Greece's first century of
existence and reveals that supposedly deep-rooted categorizations
are in fact malleable and relatively recent.
*K.E. Fleming, Alexander S. Onassis Professor of Hellenic Culture
and Civilization, New York University*
Appearing in the year of the 200th anniversary of the Greek
Revolution, this courageous book complicates the rich history of
Greek nationalism. Carving new research vistas, empirically rich
and theoretically savvy, it offers a balanced picture of the unique
and original minority governance of the Muslim community in Greece
until the Second World War. A must-read for anyone interested in
the history of the whole Balkan region and broadly on minority
issues.
*Maria Todorova, Edward William and Jane Marr Gutgsell Professor of
History, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign*
Katsikas' work lays an important foundation in the English language
scholarship of post-independence Greece by considering what
happened to the "Ottoman" element in Greek society.
*Alexander Billinis, The Hydramerican*
A copy of Katsikas' Islam and Nationalism in Modern Greece
1821-1940 should be in the toolkit of every scholar of modern
Greece because it is authoritative and richly detailed.
*Nicholas Doumanis, Journal of Religious History *
The book constitutes an important contribution to the field and
should fare well both with an academic readership and the general
audience as it offers a thoroughly researched and highly readable
account of a most complex subject.
*Dimitris Antoniou, History: Reviews of New Books*
