Abstract

Due to armed conflicts, conflicting ideologies, globalization as well as rapid development of technical means, within the last century Europe experienced a huge and nearly continuous migration movement, which became a permanent subject of research for many academic disciplines. Regarding Greek Civil War, the research was initiated more than a decade after the war was over and then mainly by foreign researchers and Greeks living abroad.

Yet, most of them concentrated primarily on the historical events and it took much longer to get the common man into the central focus at least in some publications. The pioneers of such an approach are the authors of this book Riki van Boeschoten and Loring M.

Danforth.
