The stories range from the Christianisation during the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the forced communist renaming of the Pomaks in the 1970's, to their fascinating wedding rituals and historic figures. Each of the five narratives contains its own storyline and serves as a prominent example of Pomak heritage, from the author’s perspective. The stories take place in the context of fervent nationalism and the ongoing censorship of Pomakness based on the claim that it is an “ethnic Bulgarian,” not “Pomak” heritage.Balkan studies library ;Volume 14.PomaksBulgariaSocial conditionsPomaksBulgariaSocial life and customsPomaksBulgariaCase studiesPomaksBulgariaBiographyCulture conflictBulgariaCulture conflictRhodope Mountains RegionBulgariaEthnic relationsRhodope Mountains RegionEthnic relationsPomaksSocial conditions.PomaksSocial life and customs.PomaksPomaksCulture conflictCulture conflict305.6/970499Myuhtar-May Fatme1627325MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825490203321Identity, nationalism, and cultural heritage under siege3963857UNINA
