While many other books have investigated the politics and economics of this transition, this study turns its attention to the cultural aspects of  post-dictatorship Greece. By problematizing the notion of modernization, it analyzes socio-cultural trends  in the years between the fall of the junta and the economic crisis, highlighting the growing diversity and cultural ambivalence of Greek society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its focus on  issues such as identity, antiquity, religion, language, literature, media, cinema, youth, gender and sexuality, this study is one of the first to examine cultural trends in Greece over the last fifty years. Aiming for a more nuanced understanding of recent history, the study offers a fresh perspective on current problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimtris Tziovas\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Modern Greek Studies at the University of Birmingham, UK.
