It considers disputes and discussions around the desired directions of community development, political and cultural strategies. It highlights different ways of expressing the sense of ethnic bonds – relationships between Aromanians as an ethnic group, the ways of setting the boundaries of their Aromaniannes and dilemmas of identity experienced by individuals, and aspirations of ethnic group as a whole. Aromanian’s identity is associated with important places and persons in their history, as well as other cultural symbols such as ethnic language, traditional activities (herding, trade, crafts) and the axiological content related to them.
