Rethinking a Radical Reputation
An Athens Neighbourhood between Media Hype and Social Experience
About this book
Known for its anarchist and leftist movements, its uprisings and its vibrant counterculture, Exarcheia has long been a symbol of resistance and political activism in Greece. Through the voices and experiences of those who live, work and move through Exarcheia, this book delves into Athens' most contested neighbourhood â both its visible, striking elements and the unseen, elusive forces that linger in whispers, silences and memories. It unravels the tensions and contradictions of a place where beauty and resistance, decay and resilience are coexistent. Rather than reinforcing or dismissing its clichĂ©s and stereotypes, this exploration reveals the layered histories and political narratives that shape Exarcheia's past, present and future.
