Paris Papamichos Chronakis, Zionist Vipers and Jewish Pseudo-Nationalists: Anti-Zionism, Liberalism, and Slavophobia in Interwar Greece

Tue, October 3, 2017
All Day
214 Denney Hall

Time: 3:30-5 p.m.
Event Host: The Department of History, Department of Classics, Department of History of Art and the Global Mobility Project


In scholarly and lay circles today, anti-Zionism is commonly perceived as the most recent variant of a resurgent, bi-partisan antisemitism. Such a presentist view, however, obscures its much longer and variegated history. This talk unearths the widespread Christian hostility to Zionism in interwar Greece and links it to Liberal politics, anti-Slavic anxieties, minority policies, and authoritarian state-building.
