Insular Destinies by Paschalis Kitromilides

In this collection, an eminent authority on the history of political thought and on the intellectual history of modern Hellenism employs his twin academic specializations in political science and in intellectual history to understand the intricacies of the historical experience of his native island.

‘The volume anthologizes studies which can safely be characterized as works of fundamental importance for anyone seeking to study modern Cyprus in a comprehensive mannerNot merely because of the new disciplinary pathways which they carved out for scholars, with respect, for example, to the crucial impact of electoral politics on the island’s social reconfiguration, or owing to the conceptual frameworks that they established based on paradigm-setting concepts such as "the dialectic of intolerance": primarily because they constitute bold, far-sighted introspective treatments of the Cyprus Question articulated during a period when few ventured to reflect critically on the issue’ - George Kalpadakis in Kathimerini, 30 April to 02 May 2021.
