Abstract

In my study I approached Turkish and Tatar communities in Dobruja (Romania) in the context of

the ethnic and religious diversity in the Balkans, which Maria Todorova considers to be as the

only continuous traces of a common continuous Ottoman heritage. Using the field research and

documentary research, I tried to identify the political, economic, cultural and social factors that have

determined the evolution of the collective mentality of the Muslim Turks and Tatars in Dobruja from

perceiving themselves as a religious community to a self-perception as ethnic community throughout

the 20th Century. Finally, I tried to identify the present overlays between the two hypostases (religious

and ethnic) in the collective imaginary of the Turkish and Tatar Muslims in Dobruja.
