Abstract:

This volume explores how linguistic and cultural diversity in Greece, caused
by various waves of emigration and immigration, has transformed Greek society
and its educational system. It examines the country’s current linguistic
diversity, which is characterised by the languages of immigrants, repatriates,
refugees, Roma, Muslim minorities, and Pomaks as well as linguistic varieties
and dialects; and how schools and the state have designed and implemented
programmes to deal with the significant educational challenges posed by these
culturally and linguistically diverse groups.

In this regard, the book takes into account the nature and evolution of Greek
society; Greece’s traditional role as a labour-exporting country with a long
history of migration to other countries; and major political, economic and
social developments, such as the collapse of communism, the opening of borders
in Eastern Europe, and the influx of immigrants from Muslim countries.
