  • Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto
    Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto By Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar 2016 Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian group in Toronto PhD 2016 Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar University of St.Michael’s College Abstract This study explores how the Macedono-Bulgarian and Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox churches in Toronto have attuned themselves to the immigrant community—specifically to post-1990 immigrants who, while unchurched and predominantly secular, have revived diaspora churches. This paradox raises questions about the ways that religious institutions operate in diaspora, distinct from their operations in the country of origin. This study proposes and develops the concept “institutional vernacularization” as an analytical category that facilitates assessment of how a religious institution relates to communal factors. I propose this as an alternative to secularization, which inadequately captures the diaspora dynamics. While continuing to adhere to their creeds and confessional symbols, diaspora churches shifted focus to communal agency and produced new collective and “popular” values. The community is not only a passive recipient of the spiritual gifts but is also a partner, who suggests new forms of interaction. In this sense, the diaspora church is engaged in vernacular discourse. The notion of institutional vernacularization is tested against the empirical results of field work in four Greater Toronto Area churches.

  • The Bulgarians in America and the Native-Born Intelligentsia in Defence of the Macedonian Liberating Movement (1899-1903) George Genov - Phd
    1 The Bulgarians in America and the native-born Intelligentsia in defence of the Macedonian liberating movement (1899-1903) George Genov - PhD At the end of the 19th century the Bulgarians in North America numbered less than 1000./1/ Despite this, their presence in the patchwork ethnic picture of the New World began to be felt, since the immigrants arriving from Moesia, Thrace and Macedonia were the sons of a virtuous nation, which held sacred its love towards the fatherland, freedom and hard work. The native land was far distant, but the majority of the Bulgarian emigrants were duty-bound in their efforts aimed at realizing their national ideals./2/ Their social manifestation on American soil was focused on the timely creation of mutual aid brotherhoods and parishes. The organization of political groups such as clubs, study groups, and societies was the next higher stage in the emigrant's activity. The appearance and historical mission of these sociopolitical associations are important scholarly problems, whose answers will provide us with many unknown facts important not only as a regional phenomenon but also in the context of Pan- Bulgarian recent history. This will help us to construct another "optimistic theory" concerning the Bulgarian national mentality, in that it will provide us with examples of the exceptional patriotism shown by our fellow countrymen under conditions of a not particularly hospitable reality. The issue is particularly relevant for their descendants now living in the United States and Canada and exposed to the dangere of assimilation. It is also somewhat political in tone considering the denationalizing aspirations of the Serbian, Turkish and Greek propaganda from across the sea.

  • Peter A. Zervakis 1. Introduction Scholars of American Immigration
    Peter A. Zervakis The Role of the “Justice for Greece Committee” for the American Involvement in Greece after World War II 1. Introduction Scholars of American immigration have emphasized the stunning fact that many first-generation Americans have somewhat paradoxically been able “to become assimilated into U.S. culture yet still retain enough ethnic identification to pursue foreign policy objectives affecting [their] old countires”1. Immediately after the Second World War and shortly before the onset of the Cold War the political activities of the organized Greek-Americans regarding their respective home country seemed especially promising; after all, they had loyally fought alongside their fellow Americans during the war and thus achieved a status as free­ dom-loving allies. Moreover, after Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s death, American foreign policy found itself in a state of instability. Roosevelt’s successor, Harry S. Truman, lacked foreign policy experience; after the demobilization of American troops in Europe there seemed to be no guidelines to determine the future role of the United States in foreign po­ licy. A U.S. Congress more concerned with budget cuts than with foreign affairs, as well as a public opinion more engaged with domestic affairs than with overseas events influenced foreign policy-making at the top level in a way that led to sometimes contradictory decisions when it came to counteract the obstructive Soviet course of action in the Euro­ pean peacemaking process. It was only after “Truman’s Special Message to the Congress”12 of 12 1. Mohammed E. Ahrari, ed., Ethnic Groups and U.S. Foreign Policy (New York, 1987), XVI.

  • Primary Text Outline
    The American University…Where? By Dr. Robert Phillips Jr. If one were to ask where, after the tumult of the Eastern European revolutions, one would expect an American university to be established, most expert commentators of the time would likely have predicted Poland, due to support from the large Polish-American community, or perhaps Czechoslovakia, with its central location and scholarly traditions. Either would have seemed to be a probable host. But Bulgaria? In all probability, most experts would have placed it somewhere toward the end of the most-likely list. These experts would have noted that Bulgaria, located in the far southeast corner of Europe, of all the Warsaw Pact states was perceived as perhaps the most firmly ensconced within the Soviet Union’s international system. Within Comecon, the communist trading bloc, industries were typically centrally allocated to the member states. Bulgaria’s allocation of the prestigious and militarily sensitive computer industry demonstrates just how loyal it was. Culturally, Bulgaria was a closer partner to Russia and Russian culture than most other Warsaw Pact states. A shared Cyrillic alphabet, Slavic heritage, and Orthodox religious tradition further cemented the relationship. History also created common bonds ever since the 1 Russian army successfully led the fight to free Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire. Recognition of this bond can be seen to this day as one walks around Sofia. There, in one of the capital’s most prominent locations stands the monument to Tsar Alexander II, otherwise known as Tsar Liberator, sternly watching the Bulgarian Parliament. So close was the relationship, at least amongst governing elites, that the Bulgarian communist government even unsuccessfully lobbied to become the sixteenth republic of the Soviet Union.

  • Macedonian Migration to North America and the Making of Modern Macedonia, 1870-1970
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SALVATION ABROAD: MACEDONIAN MIGRATION TO NORTH AMERICA AND THE MAKING OF MODERN MACEDONIA, 1870-1970 Gregory Michaelidis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Gary Gerstle, Chair, Department of History This dissertation explores the establishment of Macedonian diaspora communities in North America, and the concurrent development of Macedonian national identity, between 1870 and 1970. Taking a transnational approach to cultural history, it ultimately finds a reciprocal relationship between Macedonian migration and identity by focusing on key nationalist leaders and organizations, as well as the crucial points of transformation in the evolution of Macedonian national identity. By blurring the boundary between Canada and the United States – as did many migrants from Macedonia who saw the two countries as “Upper” and “Lower” America – this study emphasizes migration rather than settlement in order to unveil nationalism’s religious, cultural and political components. The dissertation, therefore, is grounded not in the cement of a single national narrative, but in the cultural products that result from passages – physical, spiritual, and social – among nations. As the nineteenth century ended, a climate of deprivation and violence compelled tens of thousands of men from the Macedonian region to depart their troubled corner of the Balkans and find economic salvation abroad. Like their fellow villagers, most of the migrants considered themselves to be geographically Macedonian but culturally Bulgarian. Almost none identified with a nationality in the modern sense. This study argues, however, that more than simply fulfilling an economic mission abroad, the migrant men, and later their families, capitalized on the freedoms North America offered to forge a broader “salvation” that fundamentally changed their national and ethnic worldview.

CEU eTD Collection Abstract: The “Polish Question” has been subject to a protracted discussion by diplomatic historians resulting in numerous books and articles which have dissected and exposed various aspects of the issue. The subject of this thesis: the foreign policy of the United States towards Poland during and after World War II has also been studied by others before me. In order to provide new insight into the issue I examine not only the diplomatic exchanges between the three great wartime powers, but also whether or not the Polish-American community was able to influence foreign policy. The Roosevelt Administration found it impossible to amend to the popular Polish demand for the re-establishment of pre-war borders without conflicting with the Soviet Union’s similar desire to forge a lasting global settlement in Eastern Europe.
