In Identity, Nationalism, and Cultural Heritage under Siege, Fatme
Myuhtar-May makes a case for the recognition of Pomak heritage by
presenting five stories from the past and present of the Rhodope
Muslims in Bulgaria as examples of a distinct Pomak culture. The
stories range from the Christianisation during the Balkan Wars of
1912-1913 and the forced communist renaming of the Pomaks in the
1970s, to their fascinating wedding rituals and historic figures.
Each of the five narratives contains its own storyline and serves
as a prominent example of Pomak heritage, from the author's
perspective. The stories take place in the context of fervent
nationalism and the ongoing censorship of Pomakness based on the
claim that it is an "ethnic Bulgarian," not "Pomak" heritage.
