Uncaptured Crete

Crete is an island that both attracts and repels. Consequently,
it has been invaded many times but has never been totally
subjugated and has always maintained a sense of separate
identity - and this is as true today as it was in the past. This is the
argument put forward in Uncaptured Crete. The book maintains
that there is an invasion taking place in Crete now, one that stems
from the forces of globalisation and Crete’s membership (through
Greece) of the European Union. It is manifested in a massive influx
of tourists, long-term migrants and capital and in the increasing
influence of regional and international government. In the process
of explaining this argument, the author provides a comprehensive
overview of the island’s geography and history and a fascinating
insight into life in Crete today. Uncaptured Crete is essential
reading for anyone who visits or lives in this fascinating island, or
is merely just curious to know more about it.
