"Lakes and Empires in Macedonian History: Contesting the Waters tells the story of
Psarades, a lakeside village in Macedonian Greece on the shores of the Prespa lake.
This village, which is in many ways a completely typical Greek settlement and yet
remains unconventional in its way of life, embodies the many contradictions of modern
history and in exploring its roots James Pettifer and Miranda Vickers skilfully uncover
the wider social, cultural and political history of this lake region. Drawing from
oral testimonies and attentive to the construction of national histories, this book
considers how the development of international borders, movement of people and role
of national identities within imperial borderlands shaped Macedonia today. What is
more, by centering the lakes and making use of an innovative environmental historical
methodology, Pettifer and Vickers offer the first environmental history of this multi-ethnic
borderland region shared by Greece, North Macedonia and Albania. The result is a nuanced
and sophisticated transnational account of Macedonia from prehistory to the 21st century
which will be essential reading for all Balkan scholars"
