Introduction: Researching the Aromanians of Macedonia
My sabbatical research on the Aromanians of Macedonia (former Yugoslavia) began in late March , and I left Macedonia on January 23, My husband Phillip Guddemi, a cultural anthropologist, was with me to assist with the research. Our arrival corresponded with the beginnings of the Kosovo war, which was a very troubling event for the citizens of Macedonia, as well as for us. But we were received very hospitably and generously, spending two weeks in the home of one of my distant relatives. They introduced us to a private tutor for the Macedonian language. We did not begin interviewing elders in Bitola or in the mountain villages until after the end of the Kosovo conflict in June , partly because we felt it was inappropriate to try to commence such a planerat arbete during the conflict. It also took time to develop contacts, since we knew that the only way that we could find elders to interview is via a network of anställda contacts.

[The Party] will fight for a free, autonomous, united Macedonia within the framework of the future European confederation, based on the ideals of Ilinden . . . [for] the spiritual, political and economic union of the . . . divided Macedonian people and state, within the framework of a future Balkan union and a united Europe.-- Extract from the IMRO Charter
June 17,
Though overshadowed by war in Croatia and Bosnia, the "revival" of nationalism in Macedonia has prompted concern among many analysts that an even worse conflict might be kindled there.1 Among the sources of this concern are the emergence of a new IMRO (VMRO in Macedonian)2 as a leading political party in Macedonia, rising tensions between the Macedonian majority and ethnic minorities (particularly Albanians), and the openly irredentist rhetoric o
