A Land for Strangers. Non-Native Individuals and Communities in Cyprus

A Land for Strangers. Non-Native Individuals and Communities in Cyprus

Descrizione

What happens when ‘strangers’ become part of the very fabric of a place?
In Cyprus, newcomers have long shaped the island’s history, enriching rather than disrupting the cohesion of local cultures.
Seven interdisciplinary essays – framed by a thought-provoking preface and an introspective afterword – explore the roles and contributions of non-native individuals and communities in Cypriot society, from prehistory to the present day.
Drawing on a wide range of sources and approaches, this volume offers insights into Cyprus’s identity as a site of connectivity and interaction, suggesting how its complex past may hold enduring relevance for contemporary societies.
