5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, and....honest, February 19, 2000

This review is from: The New Macedonian Question (St. Antony's) (Hardcover)

The 'Macedonian Question' has always been at the heart of Balkan politics. The small, landlocked territory in the southern Balkans has been contested by its four neighbours - Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania - during and since the demise of the Ottoman Empire. This collection of essays by prominent international authors seeks to redefine the 'new' Macedonian Question, and to shed light on the complex recent history of the old socialist republic within the second Yugoslavia and its successor state. It includes important analyses of the politics, international relations and recent history of the region, as well as of the complex ethnic and religious divisions of the modern inhabitants.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a contradiction in terms, it is anti-Macedonian, November 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Macedonian Question (St. Antony's) (Hardcover)

While the title would suggest that the book is a review ofMacedonia and the Macedonian people and their role in Balkan politics,it is really an anti-Macedonian diatribe, with articles by anti-Macedonian authors like Evangelos Kofos included. Mr. Shea's book,Macedonia and Greece is an unbiased version of Macedonian history,a much better read than Mr.Pettifer's anti-Macedonian propaganda machine.
