Views and practices on the (co)existence of heteroreligious (Jews, Muslims) and heterodox (Catholics, Evangelicals) in the Greek realm, early nineteenth–early twentieth century
Throughout the long nineteenth century, views and practices vis-à-vis indigenous heteroreligious and heterodox groups were grounded in the predominance of ethnic descent (jus sanguinis) - a trend also evident in other nascent Balkan state entities. On a state level, the conceptualization of the primacy of the nation-state was expressed through the bounding of Greek citizenship with a particular, exclusive citizenry. On the level of the local milieu, it underscored the generic uneasiness of the dominant ethno-religious group to accept in its midst and coexist with the heteroreligious and heterodox "other". Presaging their status as "unwanted co-patriots", by the turn of the century both groups hovered on the very margins of the "national" community.
