Abstract

This project explores some different aspects of the means by which the image and identity of Greece has been projected and gradually developed both internally and externally; particularly through the means of attracting tourist activity in the period of 1945-1990. This project was created as the final assessment of the course PUBLIC HISTORY via the History Department of the American College of Greece during the Spring semester of 2024. It is composed of the following themes: The Government's Role, the Xenia Project, the Local Communities, the Nation Branding through the Eyes of the Greek-American Diaspora and the Greece: Through the Lens of Foreign Film.
