"This most welcome volume traces the history of education in Greece during the age of romantic nationalism. Education was central in the Greek nation-building process. By placing the case of Greece into a broader comparative context, the book marks an important intervention into the history of education as a whole." (Thomas W. Gallant, Nicholas Family Endowed Chair and Professor of Modern Greek History & Archaeology, University of California, San Diego, USA, and Social Sciences Editor, Journal of Modern Greek Studies) "How do children become members of a nation? Most of our answers have focused upon the school, where the modern nation-state socializes its new citizens. But a host of informal institutions--families, folklore, theater, and more--have also played significant roles in in the process, as Zervas reminds us. Educating the nation's young was never just about schools, so scholars of education--and of nationalism--need to look beyond them." (Jonathan Zimmerman, Professor of History of Education, University of Pennsylvania, USA)
Theodore G. Zervas is Associate Professor of Education at North Park University, USA.
