The Albanian Aromanians´ Awakening: Identity Politics and Conflicts in Post-Communist Albania
Publisher: ECMI Volume: 31 pages, pdf Description: Today, many thousands of Balkan Aromanians still live quite compactly in at least three south-east European state formations: in northern Greece, Macedonia and southern Albania; and there are still traces of Vlach-Aromanians and pockets of Aromanian populations in Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and Romania. Early and more recent documentation of Balkan life suggests total populations between a couple of thousand, ten thousand or up to a few hundred thousand Aromanians in these states. In Albania, they were recently estimated at about 200,000 by the English scholar Tom Winnifrith who is widely regarded as a most impartial observer.
