New hardcover in matte case wraps. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (6.25 x 0.75 x 9.3 inches) Includes B&W photos, maps, appendices, bibliography, and index. 256 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. In the course of hostilities between Greek and Turkish Cypriots between 1963 and 1974, over 2000 persons, both Greek and Turkish Cypriots, went "missing" in Cyprus, an island in the Mediterranean with a population distribution of 80% Greeks and 18% Turks. This represents a significant number for a population of only 600,000. Few bodies have been recovered; most will probably not be. All are still mourned by their surviving friends and relatives. The conflict has still not been resolved and the memories are still alive. "This book analyzes the uses and abuses of the dead, Greek and Turkish Cypriots who died in inter-communal violence between 1964-74. The politicians struggled for advantage by controlling both their mortal remains and the very ways the bereaved could think about them. But finally, some women rebelled, and broke the chain of deception.This disturbing ethnography dissects the cold ruthlessness of power brokers-an anthropology of troubled times, but one which leaves us wiser." Professor Peter Loizos, London School of Economics.…
