people, dismissing "genetic purity" as "pure fantasy." Regarding such claims by modern Greeks, he noted that "for most of the 2,600 years since the genesis of the ancient
Macedonian kingdom ethnic Greeks have been a minority" and that "the overwhelming Hellenic impact on Greek Macedonia is largely the result of the settlements and population exchanges of the early 1920s." Regarding modern ethnic Macedonians, he regarded them as a "newly emergent people" and held the view that they couldn't establish a link with antiquity because "Slavs entered the Balkans centuries after the demise of the ancient Macedonian kingdom." It was his view that any alleged link to the ancient Macedonian kingdom was a product of regional political factors, not genetic or cultural. At the same time, Borza also believed that contemporary Macedonian ethnicity came about not as an "invention" of Tito or the Communist party of Yugoslavia but rather as a result of a natural and organic process of "nation-building". It had begun in the late nineteenth century as an offshoot of the joint Macedonian and Bulgarian struggle against Hellenization and reached it "culmination" under Tito's policies after WWII.

is based on the most sceptical analysis of literary traditions. We have seen (Chapter 3) that the 'Makedones' or 'highlanders' of mountainous western Macedo- nia may have been derived from northwest Greek stock. That is, northwest Greece provided a pool of Indo-European speakers of proto-Greek from which emerged the tribes who were later known by different names as they established their regional identities in separate parts of the country. Thus the
Macedonians may have been related to those peoples who at an earlier time migrated south to become the historical Dorians, and to other Pindus tribes who were the ancestors of the Epirotes or Molossians. If it were known that Macedonian was a proper dialect of Greek, like the dialects spoken by Dorians and Mo- lossians, we would be on much firmer ground in this hypothesis. But, as we shall see, the matter of identifying the Macedonian language is far from settled. Thus one of the possible links connecting the Mace- donians to other Greek tribes remains to be established, although, given the nature of the evidence, it is doubtful that such a connection can ever be proven or denied conclusively."

Borza wrote that: "they may or may not have been Greek in whole or in part—while an interesting anthropological sidelight—is really not crucial to our understanding of their history" and that they "may have had Greek origins" (through

summarizes: "Borza's answer to the sub-question 'were they Greeks?' is 'yes and no'; what he insists on is that the

Borza did not believe that modern political nation-states in the
