"...given that as many as one in eight Bulgarians can claim some Macedonian descent..."
Who owns history? In the romantic, primordialist tradition of most national histories there is an assumption that historical events, institutions and individuals “belong” to a nation as part of its history. Modernity-based theories of nationalism on the other hand stress a modern “invention” of national identity based on interpretations and representations of the past: nations define themselves by what they claim for their national history. Both traditions intersect atI know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

Personally none of my family are from the Pirin part of Macedonia. But I’m interested in what Macedonians born there say when asked about their “country of birth”. Is it Macedonia, the Pirin part of Macedonia wrongly in Bulgaria since 1913, or wrongly Bulgaria (the Pirin part of Macedonia wrongly in Bulgaria). Also interested to know what Macedonians say about the small amount of ethnic Bulgarians born in Pirin Macedonia and what their country of birth is, considering they are also born in Macedonia (the region) and wrongly Bulgaria but their homeland is Bulgaria as they are ethnically Bulgarian. Never really thought about it like this.
