Асимилацията като мотив за идентичност
Assimilation as a Motive for Identi-ty

Summary/Abstract: The text traces the changes in the ethnic identification of Muslims in the municipality of Gotse Delchev (with a special focus on the villages of Breznitsa, Lazhnitsa and Kornitsa, where assimilation, called the "revival" process, has taken the most victims). The four censuses after 1989 were used, the first of which (in 1992) – annulled be-cause it did not correspond "to the real ethnodemographic structure of the popula-tion".Quantitative and qualitative studies have also been used to show a correlation between the memory of assimilation and the ethnic identification of people in the re-gion. The results of the study "Majority and Minorities: Attitudes towards the Differ-ent" are given, which also affects the attitude of the majority to the "revival" process.
