Modern Greece and the Diaspora Greeks in the United States is a comprehensive, informative, rich, and well-researched treatment of an important subject. Not only does it provide a synoptic but inclusive examination of developments in modern Greece as they relate to migration, it also offers a detailed and readable account and analysis of the trials, tribulations, and success of the Greek diasporic community in the United States. This dual feat makes the volume useful to everyone interested in Greek and Greek-American affairs, especially those of Hellenic descent, who would not only get a deeper appreciation of the idiosyncrasies of their own community and themselves, but who would learn about the roots of their forefathers and the history of their ancestral land as well. As a first-generation immigrant myself, I feel that Kaloudis's book should adorn the library of every Hellene and philhellene.
