Abstrakt: "Islam and Nationalism in Modern Greece 1821–1940" by Stefanos Katsikas explores the complex process of the erasure of Islam in modern Greece. The book highlights the violence inflicted on Muslim communities during the Greek Revolution, but also emphasizes that the conflict was not solely based on ethno-religious differences. The author provides a detailed examination of the legal and social conditions of Muslim communities in Greece, as well as the role played by traditional Muslim offices and institutions. The book also delves into the interwar period and the accommodation of the Muslim population by Greek authorities. Overall, this comprehensive and authoritative study sheds light on minority rights, ethnic cleansing, and political violence in Greece. [Extracted from the article]
