This study is devoted to politics of nationalism under Bulgarian communism (1944-89). The research aims to analyse the actual content of the Bulgarian communist policies on three main national questions and the ideas behind them. How did Bulgarian communism understand nation and nationalism? How did the Bulgarian Communist Party policy on issues of nationalism change over time? What was the legacy of communist politics of nationalism after the fall of the regime in 1989? This thesis focuses on three national questions in Bulgaria: `the Macedonian Question', the position of the ethnic Turkish minority, and the politics of Jewish identity. It argues that revealing the ideas behind the communist policies in relation to these questions explains how communism understood national identity in Bulgaria. Chapter 1 provides an overview of theories of nationalism and communism in relation to Bulgarian communism. Chapter 2 analyses the understanding of communist internationalism and nationalism of the founders of Bulgarian communism and their followers in the contest of Marxism, Marxism-Leninism and Stalinism. Chapter 3 discusses Bulgarian communist mythology and argues that under communism Bulgarian national mythology was at the basis of promoting cultural nationalism which in its own turn was used for political mobilisation against ethnic diversity. Chapters 4,5 and 6 are dedicated to the three national questions mentioned above and their development under communism. Chapter 7 examines politics of nationalism after the fall of the communist regime in Bulgaria in 1989 and argues that by promoting cultural nationalism based on ethnic homogeneity the policies of the BCP in relation to ethnic minorities determined the politics of nationalism during post-communism in Bulgaria. The chapters are linked by the argument that Bulgarian communism changed its original idea of building a communist ration-State as a political community with class identity at its core to building an ethnically homogenous nation-state with ethnic Bulgarian identity as its organising principle.

Using a questionnaire developed by M. Gruis in 1974, this study determines (a) the major concerns of primiparous and multiparous mothers one month postpartum, and (b) the resources used in meeting identified concerns. The sample was composed of 19 primiparas and 22 multiparas who delivered their babies in a large tertiary care maternity centre in Vancouver, B. C, in January and February of 1987. The most frequently identified major concerns of primiparas were feeding, fatigue, breast soreness, infant behavior, and return of the figure. The most frequently identified major concerns of multiparas were fatigue, regulating demands, emotional tension, jealousy of other children, and the labor and delivery experience. The vast majority of major concerns were dealt with effectively. The women used a variety of resources, and their partners were particularly helpful. However, for 64% of the multiparas in this study, the hospital stay did not provide preparation for the first weeks at home with their new babies. It is recommended that hospital nurses assess the learning needs of postpartum mothers individually, and place more attention on (a) the rest and recuperation of mothers from the birthing process, and (b) ensuring that mothers are able to thoroughly review their labor and delivery experiences. Public health or community health nurses should see their postpartum clients as soon as possible after discharge from hospital. Teaching sessions can occur in the home, and in accordance with individual concerns. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Nursing, School of / Graduate
