While the literature portrays minorities? visibility as a requirement for their empowerment or a source of their surveillance, the book argues that for such minorities what matters is their control over their own visibility. To make this point, it focuses on the concept protective dissimulation, a strategy of self-imposed invisibility. It discusses cases indicating Alevi Bulgarian Turks? strategies of dealing with historically changing majorities in their larger societies and argues that dissimulation actually reinforces the intergroup distinctions for the minority?s members. The data for the book was gathered during 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Bulgaria and Turkey. 410 0$aBalkan studies library ;$vVolume 15. 606 $aAliani (Bulgarian people)$xEthnic identity 606 $aEthnic relations$zBulagaria 606 $aEthnic relations$zTurkey 606 $aReligious minorities$zBulgaria 606 $aReligious minorities$zTurkey 607 $aBulgaria$xEthnic relations 607 $aTurkey$xEthnic relations 615 0$aAliani (Bulgarian people)$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aEthnic relations 615 0$aEthnic relations 615 0$aReligious minorities 615 0$aReligious minorities 676 $a305.894/350499 700 $aSo?zer$b Hande$01553095 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787975603321 996 $aManaging invisibility$93813366 997 $aUNINA
