Abstract

In this chapter I examine views of Turks published in Antiphonitis, a newspaper produced in Komotini, in Western Thrace. The newspaper promotes a recent type of journalistic discourse that draws upon a unique combination of nationalistic ideals with a populist-leftist critique. It is characterized by a kind of heteroglossia of conflicting ideas and practices within the dominant Christian elite. In their attempt to produce some critical commentary about the paradoxes of multiculturalism in northern Greece, the authors of Antiphonitis reproduce popular perceptions and stereotypes about the Turks (and the local Turkish minority) and portray Turkey as a significant (but dangerous) Other, entangled in an international network of use and abuse of power.
