Threads of Identity and Gender
Since the mid-1970s, Greek American women in the western United States have produced thousands of traditional Greek folk costumes for their children and grandchildren.

I argue that current uses in media and technology signal the creation of new dimensions to Greek diasporic identity and imply stronger ties with the hom…
