Recent Publications
"In Wedded to the Land Mary N. Layoun offers a critical commentary on
the idea of nationalism in general and on specific attempts to formulate alternatives to the concept
in particular. Narratives surrounding three geographically and temporally different national crises
form the center of her study: Greek refugees' displacement from Asia Minor into Greece in 1922, the 1974
right-wing Cypriot coup and subsequent Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and the Palestinian and PLO expulsion
from Beirut following the Israeli invasion in 1982."
