The Making of Refugee Memory is the first English-language history to address the way in which Asia Minor refugees in the period 1912-1924 sustained their memories of their "lost homeland" in the context of their new locations in the state of Greece. Building on the previous work of historians and sociologists in relation to the "Anatolian Catastrophe", Emilia Salvanou provides an original in-depth case-study of the Thracian Centre and its work in supporting and encouraging the identities of refugees by means of the journal Thrakika and other conduits of memory. It is a notable ground-breaking addition to the historiography of modern Greece and the perception of the status and meaning of refugees in the post-imperial world.
