| Summary: | The story of 19th-century Asia Minor Greeks illustrates the interplay of European and non-Western cultures. Although grounded historically in the latter culture, Greeks in Asia Minor interacted economically and culturally with Europeans. They were an integral part of Ottoman society, yet considered an ethnoreligious minority. Gerasimos Augustinos, in his social and cultural survey, traces their progress during a critical era of modern history and discusses how their development affected ultimately the entire Hellenic world.
