Exploring the Greek Mosaic: A Guide to Intercultural Communication in Greece

Exploring the Greek Mosaic is the result of many years of living, travelling, and teaching in Greece. Benjamin Broome has studied Greek life in cities and in remote villages—indeed, all over the Hellenic world—and here he analyzes the Greek character, customs, beliefs, religion, virtues and faults with care, thoroughness and intuition. He is much helped in his task by wide reading, [a] deep awareness of the past and a keen eye, and by his constant participation in Greek life at all levels. His judgement is shrewd and the occasional rigor of his conclusions always tempered by sympathy. All these things give considerable value to his book and will make it an especially useful companion to anyone who is about to be immersed in Greek affairs for the first time.
