Ο Μακεδονικός Αγώνας στην ελληνική ιστοριογραφία ( 1904-1984)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Contrary to popular belief, historians have been neither unaware of, not
indifferent to, the Greek stuggle for Macedonia. From the very start of the
operations, the events were attentively recorded and publicised, almost to excess.
This study attemts to classify the prolific literary output of eighty years (1904-84),
which already constitutes several hundred titles, and to define the distinctive
characteristics of each 'generation'. The writer concludes that the literature evolved
in step with the Macedonian Question and with related political events throughout
the 20th century. Although for the state and many others the main aim was to add
support to the Greek arguments, ultimately most of the literature proved to be for
local consumption only, as it failed to move beyond the stereotypes cultivated to
serve political and diplomatic agendas.
