Focusing on the activism of anti-regime students during Greece's dictatorship from 1967 to 1974, this book highlights their cultural and ideological protests. It reveals how these activists reinterpreted indigenous folk traditions for progressive aims and engaged in transnational exchanges that shaped a unique local protest culture. The study culminates in the Polytechnic uprising of November 1973, demonstrating how student movements exerted significant pressure on the regime and set the stage for a transformative shift in Greek political culture.
