(To watch the video of the event, please click here)
The talk will concentrate on the new volume The Greek Revolution and the Greek Diaspora in the United States, edited by Maria Kaliambou.
The book examines the question of historical awareness within the Greek communities in the diaspora. It adds a new perspective on the discussion about the Greek Revolution of 1821 by including the forgotten Greeks in the United States and Canada.
The purpose of this volume is to discuss the impact of the Greek Revolution as manifested in the lives of the Greek immigrants in North America. It is celebrated by the Greek communities, taught in Greek schools, covered in the local newspapers. It is an inspiration for literary, artistic, and theatrical creations.
The chapters reflect a broad range of disciplines (history, literature, art history, ethnology, and education), offering both historical and contemporary reflections. This volume produces new knowledge about the Greeks in the United States and Canada for the last 100 years.
