Summary This book takes on the question "Who are the Macedonians?" Using three domains of evidence - historical documentation, cognitive self-descriptor reports, and sociocultural features - Damianopoulos demonstrates that the Macedonians are a unique, non-Slav, non-Greek, ethnic identity. In the face of confusion, conflict, misinterpretation, and, ultimately, a denial of the Macedonians as a people and a nation throughout much of the 20th century, this book sheds new light on questions of Macedonian ethnicity and nationhood
