It is the first volume to address different aspects of the island’s cultural life from 1878, when the island changed hands from Ottoman to British rule, to 1960 when the Republic of Cyprus came into existence. The book presents a comprehensive survey of culture in colonial Cyprus, covering such aspects as photography, architecture, literature, art, cultural policy, advertisement, fashion, antiquities and archaeology, public gardens, environmental commons, and sports clubs. Individual chapters bring to light previously unpublished source material in Greek and English, written and visual, from state and private archives and collections. Using cross-disciplinary analytical tools - from the fields of imperial and colonial history, politics, cultural studies, media studies, communication studies and history – this book provides much needed insight into the multi-faceted cultural life of colonial Cyprus.
