Capricious Borders — Minority, Population, and Counter-conduct Between Greece and Turkey

Now affiliated with the PRIO Cyprus Centre of the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo, social anthropologist Demetriou has had previous affiliations with Cambridge U. and Oxford U. as well as Amnesty International. This book results from about a decade of investigation into questions concerning identity and rights in western Thrace, where Greeks and Turks interact in complex ways. The study is an examination of multiple dimensions of everyday life including economic ties, history and legacies, naming, the politics of genealogy, marriage, and life on the border.
