Panel 4 The Roma, Gagauz, and Aromanians

Abstract

This paper explores Aromanian political radicalism taking into account two points. Firstly, it deals with certain aspirations of a national group that was searching a homeland after decades of traumas. Born in a climate of violence, the Aromanian national identity adopted violence as a legitimate answer. Secondly, it has to do with the way of sublimating the Romanianness as community and motherland. Intellectuals like Papanace sought to provide a balanced self-identification criterion: Romanian but still Aromanian.
