Crafting an entry in the genre of handbooks is no small task. Authors are called to meander through a longue durée of time and somehow manage to do justice to multifaced historical trajectories. A century and more of history in some of our cases in less than 2,000 words. Achieving this representation requires a bird’s eye view of history, the power relations traversing through it, and intimate knowledge of its specifics to draw a meaningful survey bringing in conversation the general and the particular, the canonical and the unorthodox, the conventional and the innovative.
While reading “The Greek Diaspora and Greek Emigration” there were moments when I marveled at the authors’ dexterity to negotiate the challenges of the genre.
I was surprised though by the range of the bibliography and the scope of the recommended “further readings” of the Greek American entry. It cites several standard resources from conventional Greek American historiography (Theodore Saloutos, Charles Moskos,) but leaves out a host of publications which have been advancing the field since the 1990s toward previously uncharted research domains.
Going over the list, several missing scholarly contributions cascaded through my mind. They are books which
(a) were published by prestigious US University Presses
(b) opened new conceptual spaces, advancing the field in conversation with theories of diaspora, migration, subjectivity
(c) have been widely discussed by US diaspora and migration scholars
(d) have been extensively cited by prominent scholars and the next generation of researchers
(e) offer examples of powerfully written, sophisticated and innovative analyses of new research domains
There is also major articles or book chapters carving new directions for the field.
Those of us who know the field we automatically recognize these omissions. It is puzzling. But one of the major sources of power associated with this genre is to orient contemporary (and future) readers who are not familiar with the histories, debates, contributions of this field. It involves a gesture of power toward the making of a canon.
A comprehensive bibliography is of course not possible in this case due to the limitations of the genre. But the task (in fact the responsibility) is to come up with a more expansive pool of resources than the one offered here. To foreground the polyvocality of the field and its multifaceted directions.
I see that the volume is in Progress. I hope that the editors will take the step to rectify this one problematic aspect of the contribution.

I never thought I’d need to recover lost Bitcoin. I was always cautious, double-checking addresses and securing my accounts. But one phishing link changed everything. It looked identical to a crypto platform I trusted. Moments after entering my login details, my Bitcoin was gone, sent to an unknown wallet.
ReplyDeleteThe financial loss was painful, but the helplessness was worse. I knew that blockchain transactions are irreversible, and most forums confirmed my fear: “Once it’s gone, it’s gone.”
Then I found Morphohack Cyber Service, a recovery team that tracks stolen cryptocurrency, I reached out to them via E-mail (Morphohack@cyberservices . com).
I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I reached out. From the start, they were clear and professional. They explained their method, tracing the stolen funds across the blockchain to find where they ended up.
In my case, the Bitcoin had passed through several wallets before arriving at a centralized exchange. Morphohack acted fast, working with the exchange to freeze the assets using blockchain evidence.
Weeks later, I got the email I didn’t think would come, my Bitcoin had been recovered.
If you ever face a similar loss, act quickly and contact experts like Morphohack Cyber Services. Their help made the difference between a permanent loss and a second chance.
My crypto wallet was hacked, and I lost $87,000 in BTC and $115,000 in ETH at the time of the breach. I was absolutely devastated, left in shock. In my search for a way to recover my funds, I suspected the breach had happened through my email linked to the wallet, but I couldn't find any way to regain access, no matter what I tried. I reached out to everyone I trusted, but nothing worked. That was until an old colleague told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, a company specializing in crypto and funds recovery. Without hesitation, I contacted them, and I’m so glad I did. The Morphohack team was incredibly professional and effective, they not only helped me recover my crypto assets but also secured my wallet to prevent future breaches. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to contact Morphohack directly via E-Mail at Morphohack@ cyberservices.com.
