Theodora Dragostinova. Between Two Motherlands: Nationality and Emigration among the Greeks of Bulgaria, 1900–1949
Theodora Dragostinova's masterful study of the Greeks of Bulgaria begins with her honest admission that the book is the product of her own life between two motherlands. Resembling the Greeks of Bulgaria who journeyed (both literally and metaphorically) between Bulgaria and Greece, the author also has ambivalent cultural and national identities. Through her training as a historian in Greece and the United States, she discovered that the recounting…

Women of the family, women of the nation
Sacred scholars, profane advocates intellectuals molding national consciousness in Greece
Central to the multifaceted process of nation‐building are the cultural politics involved in the construction of national ideology. This paper examines the role of academics and intellectuals in shaping public discourse and popular national consciousness on the Macedonian issue in contemporary Greece. It explores how those holding institutionalized positions of power in government, academic circles, and the media have constructed and projected an…
Politicizing Culture: Negating Ethnic Identity in Greek Macedonia
Nation-building directly affects ethnic identity as it transforms the peoples of a region into the people of a nation-state. Since the incorporation of Macedonia into the expanding Greek state in 1913, Greek authorities have attempted to wrest control of enculturation away from the private domain of the family and to place it under the control of state institutions. In the process, Slavic speakers of the area have found themselves forbidden to us…
