About the Research Project
Leaving Egypt: Greeks and their Strategies, 1937-1967
My research project, entitled “Leaving Egypt: Greeks and their Strategies, 1937-1967”, involves revising my doctoral thesis, with the purpose of publishing a research monograph. The project examines the conditions of departure of the Greek population from Egypt from 1937 to 1967 and the various, often contradictory, strategies adopted by them (community institutions and individuals) and the Greek state alike regarding not only their out-migration but also their continued residence in Egypt. The publication, scheduled for late 2015, will be an original contribution to several historiographical debates: the history of the Greek diaspora; the history of modern Egypt and the decolonization in the Near East.
