Bulgaria and Europe: Shifting Identities

ls"Bulgaria and Europe: Shifting Identitiesrs" offers a unique analysis of Bulgariars"s relationship with the European continent. Katsikas examines how Bulgarian historiography and literature over the centuries have created differing conceptions of Europe and, in the process, shaped the countryrs"s own shifting identity. Through his analysis, he provides the broader cultural context and historical perspective required in order to understand the countryrs"s EU accession process as well as its aftermath. This work ultimately addresses what has arguably been the key question facing Bulgaria in the post-Cold War period: 'Are we European?'
