"Between 1931 and 1939, central Athens was transformed by the expropriation and demolition
of the Vrysaki neighborhood at the foot of the Acropolis. In these few years, more
than 5,000 inhabitants were displaced and 348 properties were torn down so that the
American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) could excavate the ancient
Agora; the scale of the project and the degree to which it was documented make this
a unique episode in the history of Greek archaeology. Using materials from the ASCSA
Archives and a large collection of photographs from the 1930s, this volume details
the history of the negotiations, the expropriations, and, most importantly, the Vrysaki
neighborhood itself. Illustrating its streets, shops, houses, names, and faces, the
author provides a vivid recreation of the community that was Vrysaki"
