ABSTRACT
Can we consider Greece a postcolonial nation? Does it make sense to include Balkan, Baltic, and Caucasian countries into the postcolonial fold? What do we gain by expanding the definition of postcolonialism to study a host of nations from Albania to Azerbaijan? These questions have invited spirited and controversial responses since they have to do with the conceptual boundaries of both empire and postcolonialism along with the practice of comparison itself (Albrecht 2019; Türesay 2013).
