Understanding Diversity in Rhodes: Traditional and New Others

Objective: To examine the contours of diversity on the island of Rhodes.

The multicultural society of Rhodes, with the long co-existence of Christian and Muslim communities, has recently witnessed waves of new Muslim refugees and immigrants. This combination provides a unique setting for analysing and deconstructing diversities, with a view to developing integration policies.

This research project was supported by the European Economic Area through the Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 and the Program "Academic Research in the Priority Sectors/GR07". It was also co-funded by Greece under the supervision of the General Secretariat of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs.
