Extract

Your nostalgia has created

A nonexistent country, with laws

Alien to earth and man.

George Seferis, The Return of the Exile (Keeley and Sherrard, 1981, pp. 224-25)

The history of Greece's first century as an independent nation-state is in many ways a history of the interplay among urban space, nationalism, and identity. It is also a history of nostalgia: Western European nostalgia for one specific past, Greek nostalgia for another, and the tension between the two.
