This book investigates the major forced population movements across the Aegean in the last 100 years. It uses the 1922-1923 forced population exchange as an intellectual point of departure to investigate the multiple refugee movements across the Aegean and their interconnections. It addresses the forced displacement of not only Turks and Greeks but also Jewish people and Syrians while also investigating the remembering of these episodes, within and beyond Turkey and Greece. Bringing together leading experts on Greece and Turkey, the volume advances a dialogue between national and international historiographies and offers fresh perspectives on the enduring legacies of displacement.
Across the Aegean is essential reading for scholars and students of Modern Greek and Turkish studies, Cultural, Heritage, Refugee/Forced Migration, and Memory Studies. Its insights also resonate with policy practitioners, journalists, and wider audiences seeking to understand how histories of displacement continue to shape the politics and societies of the Aegean today.
Violetta Hionidou is Professor of Modern European History at Newcastle University, UK. Her research interests span from famines to birth control; from popular Medicine to family history; and from migration and refugee studies to the displacement experiences of Pontic Greeks in the former USSR. Currently, she is researching migration in times of famines. She has published three monographs, two of which prize winning. Hionidou has held Research Fellowships at Princeton University-Seeger Centre for Hellenic Studies, at The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (George Papaioannou Fellowship) and at Cambridge (Lewis-Gibson Visiting Fellowship). Dimitris Skleparis is Senior Lecturer in the Politics of Security at Newcastle University. His research explores the intersections of security and forced displacement, focusing on threat perceptions, empathy, and collective memories of historical victimization. He has published widely in international journals and edited volumes, and contributed to research reports and policy briefs. Dimitris is Co-Convenor of the Greek Politics Specialist Group of the Political Studies Association and serves on the Scientific Board of the Greek Review of Social Research. He previously held academic and research positions at the University of Glasgow, the University of California, and ELIAMEP.
