Abstract
Abstract One hundred years after people were forcibly driven from their ancestral lands, this article traces the gender aspect of the Turkish-Greek population exchange from an ethnographic perspective. This aspect certainly differs with respect to the refugees’ place of origin, place of residence, social class, and the cultural capital they brought from their previous lives. The experiences were diverse, in some cases similar, and cut across religious boundaries. Based on memoirs, literary works, and oral history, this article draws a comparative picture of refugee lives before and after their displacement.
期刊介绍:
The Turkish Historical Review is devoted to Turkish history in the widest sense, covering the period from the 6th century, with the rise of the Turks in Central Asia, to the 20th century. All contributions to the journal must display a substantial use of primary-source material and also be accessible to historians in general, i.e. those working outside the specific fields of Ottoman and Turkish history. Articles with a comparative scope which cross the traditional boundaries of the area studies paradigm are therefore very welcome. The editors also encourage younger scholars to submit contributions. The journal includes a reviews section, which, in addition to publications in English, French, and other western European languages, will specifically monitor new studies in Turkish and those coming out in the Balkans, Russia and the Middle East. The Turkish Historical Review has a double-blind peer review system.
