One century, two refugee crises in Greece: de-nationalising the past/de-naturalising the present.
A century ago, over 1.2 million Ottoman Christians were forcibly displaced to Greece after the Greek army's defeat in Asia Minor. In the summer of 2015, over a million people, mainly from Syria and Afghanistan, crossed the Aegean islands to reach Europe. These were the only two events in recent Gree...

In the summer of 2015, over a million people, mainly from Syria and Afghanistan, crossed the Aegean islands to reach Europe. These were the only two events in recent Greek history framed and managed as 'refugee crises'. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this paper employs the lens of entangled histories to examine how different grammars of crisis – discursive, institutional, and financial – have shaped the management of displacement across a century. By tracing continuities and ruptures in nation-building processes, in population management and in the production of 'refugee figures', it highlights how the framing of crisis has functioned as both a language of emergency and a mode of governance. This dialogue between past and present proves more fruitful than anticipated. It reveals that the 1922–24 displacement history is continuously written and rewritten to align with current national narratives. It also challenges us to critically rethink what is now accepted as common sense in today's management regimes. Thus, this paper seeks to both denationalise the past and denaturalise the present. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
