Subject "This book explores the Greek state's attempts to build a mosque. Looking at the project's decades-long history of failure and its bittersweet realization in 2020, Dimitris Antoniou demonstrates the productivity of unrealized plans and sheds light on what it takes for things to happen in contemporary democracies"--Publisher's description.
