ГРАНИЦИТЕ НА БЪЛГАРСКОТО И БЪЛГАРСКАТА ИДЕНТИЧНОСТ В СЪТРУДНИЧЕСТВОТО МЕЖДУ КОНСТАНТИН ФОТИНОВ И ИЛАЙЪС РИГС. ТЕМАТА ЗА АМЕРИКА И БЪЛГАРИЯ ПРЕЗ ОПТИКАТА НА ВЪЗРАЖДАНЕТО
THE BOUNDARIES OF THE BULGARIAN AND BULGARIAN IDENTITY IN THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN KONSTANTIN FOTINOV AND ELIAS RIGGS. THE THEME OF AMERICA AND BULGARIA THROUGH THE OPTICS OF THE BULGARIAN NATIONAL REVIVAL

Summary/Abstract: The theme of America and American reality during the Bulgarian National Revival is present in many of our textbooks, in our journalism, in separate books. Bulgarians during this period were very impressed by the accelerated development in the American Republic. The close relationship and professional cooperation between the American missionaries and our key Bulgarian Revival leaders, on the one hand, strengthens and affirms (gives a stronger foundation) our Bulgarian traditional identity. On the other hand, it rethinks and reformats the boundaries of the Bulgarian. These processes could be identified in the relationship between Bulgarian Revival leaders and American missionaries, and in particular between Konstantin Fotinov and Elias Riggs.
