Main Article Content

Theodore A. Couloumbis

Abstract

This paper identifies the roots of anti-Americanism in Greece by listing a
number of political differences between Greeks and American administrations
of the past, especially in the 1967-1974 period. It differentiates the concept of anti-Americanism in Greece from marginal racistic reactions that target the american people as opposed to specific leaders and administrations. The paper focuses on the major transformations in Greece (especially after its entry in the European Union) and concludes that today —given the conversence of values and interests— there are no longer any reasons for sustaining the memories of the past.
