**** MACEDONIAN TOMB ****

Another major Macedonian tomb, dating from 400 BC, was uncovered recently at the Pella cemetery. The two-chamber tomb, which was sealed, contained significant findings which sheds new light on ancient Macedonian art. Three marble sarcophagi were found in the tomb indicating that the tomb belonged to a noble family in ancient Pella. Two of the sarcophagi are embossed, one of the two with the life-size relief of a young Macedonian. Archaeologists at the dig also found a gold coin depicting the Macedonian star, bronze coins depicting Alexander the Great and founder of Thessaloniki, Cassander, and other artifacts.

BOOK REVIEW

Reviewed by Maria Todorova - Department of History, University of Florida (reprinted by permission of the Journal of the Hellenic Diaspora)

In the introduction to Hugh Poulton's survey of the Macedonian problem, one of his many proleptic remarks reads: "In such a controversial area it seems impossible to avoid offending some or even many, although needless to say this is not our aim." It is to the credit of the author that he stays true to his word. Not only is it easy to see how his account would offend each extreme Balkan nationalist position, but there is real achievement in articulating clear explanations to complex issues within the quagmire of contending claims in a remarkably evenhanded manner. This short book, whose main goal is to give a popular introduction to the contested problem of Macedonian identity, is structured around ten chapters, of which the first is a brief methodological introduction, followed by five historical chapters (antiquity and the medieval period, the Ottoman legacy, the decades between 1878 and the end of World War I, the interwar period, and the war years), three thematic chapters (the ethnic situation and politics of Yugoslav Macedonia, the Macedonian problem among the neighbors, present developments in independent Macedonia), and a last two-page concluding chapter which attempts to look into the future. The succinct introductory chapter sets some of the methodological premises of the book. Writing in a clear prose devoid of professional jargon, the author introduces the reader to the ambiguities of the name and its controversial coverage in terms of geography, politics, and ethnicity. Rightly claiming nationalism as the center of the Macedonian controversy, the author summarizes in a brief sketch the major contributions of the present enormous literature on the nationalist phenomenon. The use of history emerges as the most powerful weapon of nationalists and the following chapters are devoted to a survey of Macedonia's historical development and the contending nationalist interpretations. Especially good at synthesis are the chapters covering the period between the Congress of Berlin and the Second World War. Representing the authentic contribution of the book are the three thematic chapters covering the post-World War II period. They are clearly the result of the author's own research and provide valuable anecdotal material that has not been systematized heretofore from the archives of Amnesty International, different broadcasting associations, the press, as well as emigre organizations. The understanding, which is not tantamount to endorsement, the author shows for each side's point of view in the controversies is a genuine accomplishment. Thus, we hear the voices and arguments, and implicit in them the fears and hopes, of often incompatible visions. These, are not only the different positions of the contending states - Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania - but also different groups within the states: governments in power, opposition parties, intellectuals, minority organizations, etc. Especially valuable is the attention drawn to the role of emigre communities, often more fiercely (and irresponsibly) nationalistic than the co-nationals at home. Although the author does not specially analyze this issue, his material clearly shows how the controversy is exploited by different political mobilizers for internal purposes. While the prediction that Macedonia will become (in the short term at least) more closely oriented to Bulgaria (p. 209) will most likely turn out to be a false prophesy, the analysis of the contemporary scene is remarkably well informed and lucid. The author has succeeded in giving not only an evenhanded but clear and succinct summary of a very complex issue. It has to be stated from the outset that, albeit commendably evenhanded and living up to the exigencies of scholarly objectivity, this is not a book by a scholar. Very often it reads more like a handbook than an analytical survey. In fact, one can see this book as a companion volume to the previously published and praised work of Hugh Poulton, The Balkans: Minorities and States in Conflict (London, 1991 and 1992). As already pointed out, the author will manage to offend extreme nationalistic sentiment on all sides. And at times he will succeed in offending the feelings of professional historians, although this does not diminish the general value of the work. A historical gallop through several millennia inevitably results in some mistakes and discrepancies. For someone quite sensitive about the nuances of ethnic groups and identities and well-read in modern historiography, it is rather careless to speak of the settlement of "Turks and other Muslim-Turkic-speaking peoples" in the Ottoman empire for the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. "Turks" was not an ethnic name distinct at the time from other Turkic (or Turkoman) tribes; it became an accepted ethnonym only with the advent of Turkish nationalism. This, at first glance inconsequential, differentiation may inadvertently support nationalist Turkish claims for a "nation before nationalism." Although Poulton's undertaking does not require an exhaustive synthesis based on all existing secondary works, it is still hardly appropriate to rely on a single work, often not the result of most recent research or simply not the most authoritative. The whole section on antiquity is based on Hammond's "A History of Greece to 322 B.C." which is dated on the problem of Greek migration. Occasionally unfortunate turns of phrase occur, clearly borrowed from the source, such as the ancient Macedonians being "apparently more phlegmatic" than the Greeks and that "the everyday language of the people was distinct from that of its southern neighbors but today it has almost (M.T.) vanished" (p. 12). For the uninitiated, this gives rise to speculations that the ancient Macedonian language could have survived in distant corners. Irrelevant but also unfortunate is the comparison of the relationship between the Macedonian dynasty of Philip and Alexander and the Greeks with the relationship between Bulgarians and Slav Macedonians in this century. Whatever one's position on the Bulgarian-Macedonian controversy, no one can contest that the two languages are very closely related (the controversy extends to the claim that they are one language). In the case of ancient Macedonian and Greek, we simply do not have enough material to definitively decide the dispute in favor of the Greek provincial or non-Greek (Thracian, Illyrian) origins of Macedonian. But the comparison implicitly reveals Poulton as an advocate of the Greek thesis, which I suspect is not his intention. Bogomilism's center was not Macedonia but the region around Plovdiv in Thrace, and "pace" Ilievski's (Poulton's sole source on this question) assertion that it rose from the old teaching, it was brought in by Manichean groups from Anatolia, following the demographic policy of population transfers exercised by Byzantium, as attested by extensive specialized literature on the problem (P. 20). While it is correct to question the linear continuity of the Greek nation from antiquity to the present, it is rather unfortunate to try to disclaim the increasingly Greek character of the Byzantines, particularly by the end, and to overemphasize the "many Greeks" who fought alongside the Ottoman armies. Moreover, the questionable assertions about Byzantium are not supported by a single Byzantinist, but are based on Douglas Dakin, an authority in his own right, but on the nineteenth century. While the chapter on the Ottoman period gives an overall fair account of the five centuries of Ottoman domination, particularly by focusing on the transformation of the imperial "millet" structure (based on separate religious groups crossing over ethnic and linguistic lines) into the contemporary structure of nation-states, it is not exempt from inappropriate and sometimes problematic statements. It is ridiculous to assert that the Arabic script is difficult to learn or that it was inappropriate for Turkish because it did not sign vowels, which "resulted in frequent misunderstandings." Ataturk's introduction of the Latin script was motivated by a westernizing ethos, and it is naive to accept the legitimizing of the change at face value. But the assertion that "by the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Ottoman Turkish had degenerated (M.T.) into bombast with inelastic and tortuous embellished phrases and constructions" (P. 32) demonstrates both ignorance of the fine poetry and literature produced in this period and lack of understanding about the relationship between reality and language (in this case the inelastic and tortuous bureaucracy and the specific language in which it was reflected). While there is little doubt about the hellenizing tendencies of the Constantinople patriarchate during the nineteenth century, to assert that "for centuries" the Phanariote Greeks had used it to hellenize the Orthodox populations of Macedonia is anachronistic. The standard strategy of scholars who do not wish to take sides in the controversy between Bulgaria and Macedonia, or who want to be accepted by both sides (and usually end up rejected by both) is to speak neutrally of Slavs in Macedonia. This is partly understandable: indeed, it can be argued that a considerable part, if not the majority, of the Slavic population by the middle of the nineteenth century had no clearly expressed (Bulgarian) national identity (the Macedonian was not yet constructed at that time). However, calling them Slavs, a notion that was never used as a self-designation but only ascriptively by nineteenth-century Western observers to cover all Balkan Slavs they could not differentiate, and by enthusiastic central European and Russian Slavophiles, certainly sheds additional darkness on the confused problem on identity. In fact, Poulton readily admits that the Slavs in Albania were called Bulgarians, as they were also (privately) in Greece. Granted, Bulgarian claims on Macedonia can be rejected, at least in a scholarly fashion, mostly on the ground that national consciousness was lacking in a population that was identified mostly locally and through its religious allegiance. Yet to say that the Miladinov brothers, authors of "Bulgarian Folk Songs" and irrefutably identifying as Bulgarians, "helped to popularize and spread the idea of Slav or Bulgarian consciousness" is to strain historical reality too much to achieve the dubious goal of tactical neutrality. After all, it would be equally objectionable to nationalists on all sides to claim that Macedonian identity was simply the last in the line of constructed national identities in the Balkans throughout the eighteenth to twentieth centuries. This would alienate believers in the organic nation, to whom the notion of a later historical, let alone "constructed," identity is offensive. But this is the story of all Balkan nationalisms, though with different intensities, specific foci in the construction of identity-language, religion, history, etc.-and most importantly different timing, beginning with the Greeks, followed by Serbs, Romanians, and Bulgarians, later joined by the Albanians, the Macedonian case being an addition of the post-World War II period, with roots in the post-1878 context. Although Poulton recognizes the constructedness of the Macedonian, as well as any other, national identity (especially in his excellent seventh chapter), he sometimes falls inadvertently into the trap of "backdating modern concepts," of which he justly accuses local nationalists. Not taking a clear position only adds to the morass of misunderstanding. All this is not meant to introduce a pedantic criterion in judging this work whose main task lies elsewhere, but precision is important in such highly charged matters. Finally, this book has to be evaluated on its own merits for what it aspires to achieve. The problem it deals with is extremely convoluted, and it takes real courage to try to simplify it and present it accordingly without vulgarizing it. In general, Hugh Poulton has succeeded admirably in offering a practical, evenhanded, informative, and useful account. Still, I doubt that it will find its way to the university classroom. On the other hand, it will be preferred reading for and undoubtedly of great help to diplomats, politicians, and the general public.

NEW PUBLICATIONS

THE ELEGANT TOILET, Marios Hakkas, translated by Amy Mims Marios Hakkas lived almost all his tragically short life close to the Athenian neighborhood of Kesariani, in the shadow of Mount Hymettos. Throughout the Nazi Occupation of Greece, this district was the symbol of Greek Resistance and Hakka's stories are indelibly marked by the blood-stained events of the Kesariani "Skopeftirio" where at least a thousand Greek Partisans sacrificed their lives. With sharp irony, but also occasional flashes of elegiac lyricism, Hakkas laments the loss of this valiant spirit. Wrathfully, he imagines the once heroic Shooting-Ground being sold out to land-grabbers, interested only in profiteering and money-grubbing shop-owners. The acquisition of a new-fangled "elegant toilet" becomes the symbol of this new Kesariani, where disappointed ex-idealists are no longer able to dream or even to remember their recent struggles. However, the last story in the last book records the voice of a single lad, killed while resisting, and this outcry remains vibrantly alive, demanding justice from future generations.

HER NIGHT ON RED, Kostis Gimosoulis This is a complex story of flight. A woman tearing herself away from a major love affair is driven by the pain of her decision to take a long journey. She leaves the town of Patras, her friends, the bar she worked at, her self as she knew it and hitch-hikes to Epirus in winter, along deserted roads, catching rides with the men who drive these roads. Yianenna in Epirus leads her eventually to the island of Patmos where the battle to save her life reaches a climax. Feeling she is the verge of losing her soul she rediscovers herself in the form of a sleeping child. Though hounded by failure, fear and silence, she discovers the true grandeur of love and with it a sense of her own self. Her mind and emotions are honed to such an exceptional degree that the pain she suffers becomes the way to self-realization. Because love, for the strong and the daring, always leads to the most inaccessible and divine parts of our being. 128 pages

MISSION BOX, by Aris Alexandrou, translated by Robert Crist Amidst the turmoil at the end of the Greek Civil War of 1946-1949, the anonymous narrator of the novel, writing his "deposition" in solitary confinement, attempts to discover the truth regarding the abortive mission of which he is the sole survivor. As he strives to exonerate himself and incriminate his political adversaries, the narrator presents a vivid account of the mission involving the transport of a box whose contents are served but are alleged to be crucial strategic significance. The narrator strikingly juxtaposes ordinary incidents of barracks life to machinations of Party intrigue, as well as scenes of joy and heartbreak in his relationship with his wife, Rena. In turn, there are moving memories of school days with his pals, who are also companions in the resistance), inspiring experiences of youthful idealism, and moments of anguish and insight in his lonely cell. 352 pages
