Description: This edited volume of interdisciplinary essays considers the aspects of nation, identity, and collective experience in the notoriously divided island of Cyprus. The contributors examine the role of international politics - particularly the involvement of Greece and Turkey - and examine the changing relationship between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities since 1955.

The book challenges prevailing assumptions about political and cultural identity in Cyprus and theorizes on the prospects for mobilizing more multidimmensional and workable formations of community on Cyprus.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
The essays collected in this volume are the reworked contributions of participants at a three-day interdisciplinary conference entitled 'Cyprus and its People : New Interdisciplinary Perspectives' held at Harvard University on December 1-3, 1994.
