The Broken Olive Branch: Nationalism and the Cyprus Problem FROM THE PUBLISHER
Harry Anastasiou, peace activist and educator, takes the struggle for reconciliation in his native Cyprus as a model for understanding the destructive nature of nationalism everywhere. This highly interdisciplinary work makes complex problems-and their potential solutions-accessible to both students and general readers. Anastasiou's approach reveals features and patterns of nationalism in inter-ethnic conflict in ways that bring new understanding to ethnic divisions in other parts of the world.
For over a decade, Harry Anastasiou has played a leading role in the development and growth of a citizen-based peace movement on Cyprus. He has been a participant in "The Harvard Study Group," working on the peaceful resolution of the Cyprus problem. The author of numerous articles, he has taught conflict resolution in Cyprus, Canada, and the U.S.
