![]() | The Past in Question: Modern Macedonia and the Uncertainties of Nation Subjects: Macedonia -- History -- 1878–1912; Kruševo (Kruševo Macedonia) -- History; Macedonia -- History -- Uprising of 1903; Nationalism -- Macedonia -- History; This book examines the relationship between national history, identity, and politics in twentieth-century Macedonia. It focuses on the reverberating power of events surrounding an armed uprising in August 1903, when a revolutionary organization challenged the forces of the Ottoman Empire by seizing control of the mountain town of Krusevo. A century later, Krusevo is part of the Republic of Macedonia and a site for yearly commemorations of 1903. In the course of the intervening hundred years, various communities have vied to establish an authoritative account of what happened in 1903--and to weave those events into a longer and wider narrative of social, cultural, and national evolution.
