The Region of Dobrogea and its Ethnic Groups in the Nineteenth Century. A Case of “Proto-cosmopolitanism”

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author plan to explore the ethnic phenomenon in the region of Dobrogea in a diachronic perspective. Dobrogea is considered to be an interesting example of „protocosmopolitanism”, with many ethnic groups living together side by side and finding means of accommodating each other. The sociological context in which this work is set is that of new ethnicities, revived identities. Raluca Petre relied on the theory of Barth to „read” the ethnic dynamics in a historical perspective, specific identity lines and borders developed.
