The Birth of an Aromanian Elite: The Case of Christea Geagea
Emanuil INEOAN
Abstract: The case of Christea Geagea is emblematic of the profile of an Aromanian intellectual dedicated to the ethnic survival of his own group in a context where the danger of assimilation was at the highest levels. Christea Gegea represented an extremely effective pivot in popularizing and supporting the Aromanian cause north of the Danube, showing that there was also a reverse direction of this movement, not only the one established in the historiography dealing with this issue.
