Crossing the Aegean : an appraisal of the 1923 compulsory population exchange between Greece and Turkey
"Crossing the Aegean: An Appraisal of the 1923 Compulsory Population Exchange between Greece and Turkey," edited by Renée Hirschon, examines the 1923 Lausanne Convention, which mandated the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey. This event led to the relocation of over a million Greek Orthodox Christians to Greece and approximately 355,000–400,000 Muslims to Turkey. The book offers a multidisciplinary dialogue, addressing the demographic, economic, political, and social ramifications of this exchange. It provides insights into the challenges of writing history from both Greek and Turkish perspectives, contributing to a deeper understanding of the lasting impacts of this significant historical event
