Το κράτος, οι Μικρασιάτες και το ζήτημα της κατοικίας: στεγαστικές πολιτικές και προσφυγικές στρατηγικές επιβίωσης, 1922-1932
Translated title:
The state, the Asian Minor refugees and the housing issue: housing policies and refugee survival strategies
Summary:
The study examines the housing policies of the Asia Minor refugees in Greece during the years 1922 – 1932. It focuses, especially, on the housing practices and politics in the urban environment. The questions under investigation refer to the interaction between welfare official institutions and the social practices and the survival strategies developed by the refugee communities. In addition, the study engages in questions concerning the refugee formation of citizenship, within the new state where political institutions of representation were very different from the political experiences of the Greek Orthodox in the Ottoman Empire. The primary sources of the research consist of refugee's newspapers (Pamprosfygiki, Prosfygikos Kosmos, Prosfigiki Foni), as well as letters sent by refugees to Eleftherios Venizelos, that are held at (ονομα αρχειου). The study uses as analytical tools the concepts of «mixed economy of welfare» and «public sociality». It showcases the ways in which the refugees interacted with the state and other formal institutions that were engaged in provision politics for the refugees. It also highlights this interaction as a process within which a unique refugee identity was formed by collective bodies and practices. At the same time, these bodies and practices opened pathways of social inclusion for the refugees, who intervened in the public sphere as citizens of the Greek state.
