	Greek nationalism, the "Megale Idea" and Venizelism to 1923
		Rhigas was advanced enough in his thinking to abandon religion as a criterion for national identity but he was not farsighted enough to see the ways in which modern ethnic nationalism, with its emphasis on shared language and culture, would make such an idea impossible.
		He influenced the planners of the Revolution of 1821: we can see echoes of his thinking in the plans for a three-fold uprising, to take place in Istanbul and the Romanian provinces, as well as in the Greek Peloponessus.
		And we have seen how this idea broke down in the face of incipient Romanian nationalism, so that the uprising in Romania failed because Romanians resented their Greek Phanariot hospodars.

		Story-telling aside, let's look at the facts: It is difficult to imagine that Mrs.
		Luce believes that an English speaking, literate, West Indian Episcopalian shares less with Americans today than an illiterate Catholic Slovak peasant or a Greek Orthodox fisherman from the Peloponessus did or that a restaurant waiter from a Catholic, Latin culture is more alien than a Yiddish speaking, Hassidic garment worker was seventy five years ago.
		It is equally difficult to conceive of the reasons she feels the children of the better educated, more sophisticated Asian immigrants of today are less likely to adapt successfully to American life than the descendants of the peasants from Kwangtung and Honshu who came during the nineteenth century.
