The Greek/American Inheritance
As the editor of Ergon, it is my honor to inaugurate the project.
"I can engage with the students’ interests thanks to the work of a constellation of authors, actresses, poets, scholars, musicians, playwrights, and filmmakers. It includes the output of Helen Z. Papanikolas, Dan Georgakas, Olympia Dukakis, Theano Papazoglou Margaris, George Economou, Harry Mark Petrakis, Jeffrey Eugenides, George Pelecanos, Annie Liontas, Zeese Papanikolas, and Elia Kazan, among others. These makers of cultural material represent different generations yet share a common purpose. Linked together, their work textures Greek America as a terrain of human and cultural complexity, a shared achievement that renders their collective corpus an invaluable cultural heritage. I call this heritage the Greek/American inheritance."
