Reviews

"Ushers the reader into the complexities of the categorical ambiguity of Cyprus [and] ... concentrates ... on the Dead Zone of the divided society, in the cultural space where those who refuse to go to the poles gather." --Anastasia Karakasidou, Wellesley College "Of the recent publications on the "Cyprus Problem", Divided Cyprus ranks amongst the best. It is scholarly, very well conceived, nicely structured, and expertly executed. Most importantly, it is thought provoking. I highly recommend it to any serious scholar of Cyprus' past and present, and to those interested in its future progress."--THE CYPRUS REVIEW (VOL. 18:2, FALL 2006)
