Description of the content
Three anthropologists, a historian, an islamist and a lot of Pomaks guide us to the mountain range of Rhodope in the Balkans so that we may get familiar with the population of the Pomaks, their history, their culture, their problems, their fears and their hopes. The Pomaks live in the mountains of Rhodope, in Greece and Bulgaria, along the borders. Their language is south-Slavic and their religion is Muslim. Their origin has not been scientifically documented. They define themselves as Greeks, Bulgarians, Turks. There is a typical proverb: "Beware of the Turk's shot, the Bulgarian's beating the Greek's pencil", because shooting and beating are forgotten, but the pencil does not forget.
