{"product_id":"the-greek-gastarbeiter-in-the-maria-adamopoulou-9783111201320","title":"The Greek Gastarbeiter in the Federal Republic of Germany (1960-1974)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWas migration to Germany a blessing or a curse? The main argument of this book is that the Greek state conceived labor migration as a traineeship into Europeanization with its shiny varnish of progress. Jumping on a fully packed train to West Germany meant leaving the past behind. However, the tensed Cold War realities left no space for illusions; specters of the Nazi past and the Greek Civil War still haunted them all. Adopting a transnational approach, this monograph retargets attention to the sending state by exploring how the Greek \u003cem\u003eGastarbeiter\u003c\/em\u003e's welfare was intrinsically connected with their homeland through its exercise of long-distance nationalism. Apart from its fresh take in postwar migration, the book also addresses methodological challenges in creative ways. The narrative alternates between the macro- and the micro-level, including subnational and transnational actors and integrating a diverse set of primary sources and voices. Avoiding the trap of exceptionalism, it contextualizes the Greek case in the Mediterranean and Southeast European experience. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Adamopoulou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111201325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111201320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Maria Adamopoulou","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45331921404159,"sku":"9783111201320","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cff4817-d9fe-4ea1-a5d1-637cbaa4e053.jpg?v=1713971245","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-greek-gastarbeiter-in-the-maria-adamopoulou-9783111201320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
