Abstract
Based on a qualitative approach and by utilizing oral history methods and archival sources, this collective monograph examines the private strategies of about twelve thousand Greek Civil War refugees who arrived in Czechoslovakia in the late 1940s and live in the region till nowadays. It shows different aspects of Greek refugee migration giving a picture of their life and living conditions in communist Czechoslovakia and afterwards.
This book identifies dominant oral narratives of such individuals focusing in part on historical aspects and personal experiences of the host country, but also on the changing identity of the refugees and their descendants.
