ISBN10: 185043428X, ISBN13: 9781850434283, [publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, London] Hardcover Hardcover. This book sets out to discover "The Other" - the much-maligned Turks. Papadakis travelled to Constantinople to learn Turkish. Here, he learned that it is actually Istanbul, that Turkey was not the place of his imagined demonology, and that Turks were in fact rather like Greeks. Armed with these new insights, he returned to Cyprus and locked into the mutually contemptuous embrace of both communities, continued to explore their common humanity and understand what divided them. His focus was on Nicosia, where the people who once lived together in one neighbourhood found themselves separated by a "Deas Zone", two armies and a UN force. This book records his journey into the Dead Zone, and into the realms of memory and history. On a mission to explore the common humanity of Cyprus and Turkey and understand what divides them, Papadakis travels to Turkey, returning with fresh insights. This book records his journey into the Dead Zone, and into the realms of memory and history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
