Milena B. Methodieva. Between Empire and Nation
In a growing literature on indigenous Islam in Europe, Methodieva offers a fresh examination of the shifting position of Muslims in Bulgaria between 1878 and 1908 by triangulating Ottoman Turkish and Bulgarian sources. She chooses to speak about Muslims as a religious community, while occasionally elaborating on the differences between Turks, Tatars, Pomaks, or Roma. She also highlights the activities of a younger generation of reformist intellec…

The lost world of socialists at Europe’s margins: imagining Utopia, 1870s–1920s." European Review of History: Revue européenne d'histoire, ahead-of-print(ahead-of-print), pp. 1–2
On ‘Strategic Frontiers’
This article examines debates between Bulgaria, Greece and Yugoslavia concerning the post-Second World War Balkan borders in preparation for the Paris Peace Conference of 1946. While for most of the twentieth century Greece and Yugoslavia were close allies united in their position against revisionist Bulgaria, after 1944 the communist affiliations of the new Bulgarian and Yugoslav governments determined the rapprochement between the latter two st…
Studying Balkan State-Building
The "Natural Ally" of the "Developing World
This article examines Bulgarian cultural relations with India and Mexico in the 1970s to explore the role of cultural diplomacy in the relationship between the Second and the Third Worlds during the Cold War. In 1975, Liudmila Zhivkova, the daughter of the Bulgarian leader, became the head of the Committee for Culture; under her patronage, Bulgarian officials organized literally hundreds of exhibitions, concerts, academic conferences, book readin…
Continuity vs. radical break
Scholarly interpretations of the Balkan Wars and World War I frequently present these two conflicts as a radical break that unleashed new policies of national homogenization on an unprecedented scale. Instead, this article seeks to establish important lines of continuity between the nineteenth century and the interwar period by examining how Bulgarian and Greek national activists and officials treated nationally ambiguous individuals in their (as…
The East in the West
This article explores the ambitious Bulgarian cultural program in the United States of America to interrogate the importance of culture in the Cold War dynamics of the 1970s. The case study is examined at two levels; first, in the framework of the expanding contacts between East and West, exploring the importance of cultural diplomacy in the context of détente, and second, at the level of the actual cultural interactions, analyzing the meaning of…
Roumen Daskalov. Debating the Past
In this important book, Roumen Daskalov employs the methods of “conceptual historiography” to trace the interpretations of four controversial topics in Bulgarian history. Focusing on communist and postsocialist literature, the author does not attempt to create a “court of history” but engages questions of truth and objectivity (p. 3). While the four topics deal with developments in Bulgaria—Stefan Stambolov and questions of russophilia and russop…
Between Two Motherlands
In 1900, 2 percent of Bulgaria's population could be described as Greek, whether by nationality, language, or religion. The complex identities of the population became entangled in the growing national tensions between Bulgaria and Greece during the first half of the twentieth century. This book explores the shifting allegiances of this Greek minority in Bulgaria. Diverse social groups contested the meaning of the nation, shaping and reshaping wh…
Between Two Motherlands
The lessons of a case such as this continue to reverberate wherever and whenever states try to adjust national borders in regions long inhabited by mixed populations
Navigating Nationality in the Emigration of Minorities between Bulgaria and Greece, 1919—1941
The 1919 Convention for Emigration of Minorities between Bulgaria and Greece was an important prototype for minority handling and population exchange in Eastern Europe after World War I. Based on research in Bulgarian and Greek archives, this article offers a comparative analysis of the conflicting pursuits of the two countries and the multiple opinions of various groups affected by displacement. Despite the optimism of the League of Nations that…
Speaking National
In this article Theodora Dragostinova examines the interplay between official policies and popular demands in the nationalization of the Greek minority in Bulgaria. She explores why national activists and ordinary people chose to "speak national" in the context of the conflicting national interests and territorial aspirations of Bulgaria and Greece. At the official level, the national discourse and practice showed the co-existence of essentialist…
Competing Priorities, Ambiguous Loyalties
From the estimated ten million refugees in interwar Europe, more than 250,000 were ethnic Bulgarians who found their way in the Bulgarian Kingdom following Bulgarian defeats in the Second Balkan War and World War One. For a country with a population of five and a half million in the mid-1920s, this refugee flow constituted a significant challenge from economic, political, social, and cultural viewpoints. Similarly to Germany, Hungary, and Austria…
