Abstract

This edited volume brings together revised and peer-reviewed articles based largely on papers presented at a conference, complemented by contributions from additional experts to ensure thematic coherence. Organized around five main themes, the book examines the forced assimilation policies toward the Turkish minority in Bulgaria, the 1984–1985 compulsory name-changing campaign, the 1989 Forced Migration, and their historical, political, social, and cultural consequences. While some overlap among chapters is unavoidable due to the self-contained nature of each contribution, the complementary perspectives collectively provide a comprehensive account of the processes under study.

The volume combines historiographical analyses, first-hand testimonies, diplomatic assessments, sociological interviews, and anthropological fieldwork. It explores state-led assimilation, resistance movements, migration experiences, memory and public discourse, and the transformation of Bulgarian–Turkish relations. Particular attention is paid to post-1989 developments, including minority rights, European Union influence, integration experiences of migrants in Turkey, religion and identity, transnational migration, and dual citizenship. The book also situates the 1989 events within a longer trajectory of Bulgaria’s homogenization policies, arguing that the migration constituted a systematic and coercive state practice in violation of international norms. Overall, the volume offers a multidimensional and interdisciplinary framework for understanding the historical roots and long-term implications of the 1989 Forced Migration and minority policies in Bulgaria.
