AHIF Releases Spring 2024 Issue of The Journal of Modern Hellenism
No. 65
WASHINGTON, DC — The American Hellenic Institute Foundation (AHIF) and the Center for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies (Queens College CUNY), are pleased to announce the release of the 36th volume (Spring 2024) of The Journal of Modern Hellenism (JMH). It is available gratis at the AHIF publications website: [https://www.ahifworld.net/jmh-issues]. This is the second volume of the JMH co-published through the collaboration and support of a new partnership between AHIF and the Center for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies (Queens College CUNY).
As Dr. Hatzidimitriou, the JMH Managing Editor states in his introduction: “the Spring 2024 issue contains a wide range of diverse studies which are representative of the rich diachronic scope of Hellenism and its lasting international impact. The articles contributed by a distinguished group of scholars, cover important subjects in the fields of the history of medicine, economics, music and nationalism, language and literature, modern Greek history, and education. Similarly, the books reviewed represent Hellenism’s importance and impact upon Byzantine art and culture, American diplomacy and the understanding of international affairs, European and Greek revolutionary movements, and Greek American culture.” The new issue also continues the “Archives and Sources” section which was introduced last year, and which seeks to bring important previously unpublished primary sources and resources to the attention of the public and academic community.
This new volume now available includes the following:
