Industry Reviews
North Macedonia has had a rocky history since it declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, which this reference book explores. Part of the problem was the name, as Macedonia has historic connotations relating to neighboring Greece, stretching back to the time of Alexander the Great. As a result, Greece blocked North Macedonia’s entry into the EU, and the Balkan country was able to enter the UN only as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Greece finally reached a historic agreement with the country, which changed its name from the unofficial Republic of Macedonia to the official Republic of North Macedonia in 2018–2019. This volume by Bechev (Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), now in its second edition, covers the country's ancient history through this more recent turbulent history to the middle of 2018. There are entries on North Macedonia’s ethnic groups, political groups, historical events, and prominent figures. The book includes two maps, a letter/character pronunciation key, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, and an extensive bibliography.
Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels.
