"Of the many European territorial reconfigurations to result from the Congress of
Vienna, the Ionian State remains among the least understood. Xenocracy offers a much-needed
account of the region during the ensuing half-century of oversight by Great Britain--a
period that embodied all of the contradictions of British imperial expansion. Administrators
deliberately pursued liberal reforms and fostered the growth of a middle class that
was instrumental in building the colonial state. However, Ionian finances deteriorated
and fissures appeared along class lines, presenting a significant threat to social
stability. As author Sakis Gekas shows, the ordeal fueled an ambivalence toward Western
Europe, anticipating the 'neocolonial' condition with which the Greek nation struggles
even today"--From publisher's website
