Title: Imagining the modern
Description: "Imagining the Modern argues that two conflicting styles of nationalist imagination led to the violent rending of Cyprus in 1974 and sustained that division over decades. Basing her study on comparative research in both southern and northern Cyprus, Rebecca Bryant demonstrates how the conflict emerged through Cypriots' encounters with modernity under British colonialism, and through a consequent reimagining of the body politic in a new world in which Cypriots were defined as part of a European periphery."--BOOK JACKET.
