Introducing the first of three language/culture classes of the semester...Macedonian!

Macedonia is a small, mountainous country in the very center of the Balkan peninsula. Being rich in fertile lands, water sources and various metal and mineral mines, it has always been a place that European and Minor Asian emperors wanted to rule. Inhabited since the earliest times, civilizations grew and fall, while Macedonia was enriching its cultural heritage from the mosaics of ancient Macedonians, temples of the Romans, Byzantine churches and monasteries, Ottoman mosques and hamams, to socialist brutalist architecture. Today, as a young independent state, Macedonia aspires to become a member of the European Union and the North-Atlantic Treaty Organization, while struggling to keep its identity and unique culture under pressure from near and far alike.
