The story of the Greeks in Egypt from Muhammad Ali to Nasser
Alexander Kitroeff Books
Alexander Kitroeff's work delves into the complex dynamics of nationalism and ethnicity, particularly focusing on Greece and its global diaspora. His scholarship critically examines the construction of national identities and the profound impact of migration on cultural and political landscapes. Through rigorous historical inquiry, Kitroeff illuminates the forces that have shaped modern Greece and its intricate relationship with the wider world.
The book recounts the founding of the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) by eight visionary men in 1922, aimed at fostering understanding and integration for Greek immigrants in America. It highlights the organization's unique grassroots approach, emerging directly at the national level rather than from local chapters. Celebrating a century of resilience, AHEPA's impact is illustrated through its global reach, promoting the values and traditions of the immigrant community across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australasia.
