Waiting For Macedonia- Identity in a changing World- Ilká Thiessen.
This is my anthropology prof's book about her 5+ year field work in Macedonia from '91 til '95 more or less. I've got to do a book review on it. Its the most non-academic book reads like a biography/history book. I like it. Main thesis is about how western europeans view "backward eastern europe". You know we've got the funny names, weird food and languages and that whole communism thing. lol
basically her class makes me want to move to Budapest.
