Danforth Loring
The Macedonian Conflict : Ethnic Nationalism in a Transnational World
Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press 1995 Greeks and Macedonians are presently engaged in an often heated dispute involving competing claims to a single identity. Each group asserts that they and they alone have the right to identify themselves as Macedonians. The Greek government denies the existence of a Macedonian nation and insists that all Macedonians are Greeks while Macedonians vehemently assert their existence as a unique people. Here Loring Danforth examines the Macedonian conflict in light of contemporary theoretical work on ethnic nationalism the construction of national identities and cultures the invention of tradition and the role of the state in the process of building a nation. The conflict is set in the broader context of Balkan history and in the more narrow context of the recent disintegration of Yugoslavia. Danforth focuses on the transnational dimension of the global cultural war taking place between Greeks and Macedonians both in the Balkans and in the diaspora. He analyzes two issues in particular: the struggle for human rights of the Macedonian minority in northern Greece and the campaign for international recognition of the newly independent Republic of Macedonia. The book concludes with a detailed analysis of the construction of identity at an individual level among immigrants from northern Greece who have settled in Australia where multiculturalism is an official policy. People from the same villages members of the same families living in the northern suburbs of Melbourne have adopted different national identities 273p. illus.bibliography.index. Reprint. Soft Cover.

Loch Sydney De Vries Susanna & De Vries Jake
To Hell and Back: The Banned Account of Gallipoli The Straights Impregnable
Sydney Australia: HarperCollins 2007 Banned in 1916 "The Straights Impregnable" . the 'best book on Gallipoli' now returns to print. As a young soldier in the battlefields of Gallipoli Sydney Loch witnessed the horror of war first hand. His journal of what he saw became a book on his return to Australia. Hoping to avoid military censorship his publishers dubbed Sydney's book a novel: 'The Straits Impregnable'. But as the war ground on and numbers of casualties grew the publisher inserted a note saying the book was in fact true. 'The Straits Impregnable' which had enjoyed huge literary acclaim was immediately withdrawn from sale by the censors. Sydney Loch's experiences in the war shaped his life afterwards. With his wife Joice Loch he would go on to work in refugee camps in Poland and Palestine at the Amerian Farm School in Thessaloniki and finally at Ouranopolis near Mt.Athos.His many subsequent books set in war torn countries reflected his humanitarian beliefs. Joice and Sydney highly notable figures of the post-war generation have garnered recent interest among historians for their lives and work. In 'To Hell and Back' historians Susanna and Jake de Vries have recovered and edited Sydney's book for a new generation of readers - and written a biography of his remarkable life. 248p. illus. index. Re-issue. Softcover. New. HarperCollins unknown
