Title: Children of the dictatorship; student resistance, cultural politics, and the "long 1960s" in Greece.
Description: Berghahn Books. 2013, First Edition. (ISBN: 9781782380009) Hardcover. Book, Putting Greece back on the cultural and political map of the "Long 1960s," this book traces the dissent and activism of anti-regime students during the dictatorship of the Colonels (1967-74). It explores the cultural as well as ideological protest of Greek student activists, illustrating how these "children of the dictatorship" managed to re-appropriate indigenous folk tradition for their "progressive" purposes and how their transnational exchange molded a particular local protest culture. It examines how the students social and political practices became a major source of pressure on the Colonels regime, finding its apogee in the three day Polytechnic uprising of November 1973 which laid the foundations for a total reshaping of Greek political culture in the following decades. Kostis Kornetis is Assistant Professor at the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies at New York University Pages: 373p. illus. bibliography, index. New/No Jacket (as issued).
