| | | Bulgaria's Muslim population consists of three groups of people: Turks, Pomaks and Gypsies. Beginning in the 1960s, and increasingly during the 1970s and 1980s, all three Muslim groups were subjected by the Zivkov regime to a systematic campaign of forced assmiliation. In this book Ali Eminov reviews the political, economic and social experience of Bulgaria's Muslims in the Ottoman and post-Ottoman periods, expecially during the Communists, and since 1989. A chapter is devoted to the peculiarities of the Turkish language as spoken in Bulgaria, the linguistic effects on Turkish of Zivkov nationality policy, and the efforts to reverse these effects since 1989. Appendices document the minutiae of the Communist government's treatment of the Muslim minority.
