» woorama - macedonian history

In response to macedonian history posted by ioakim:


hehehehe... which version are you talking about when you say "history"? the indigenous macedonians who still struggle for independence after their land was stolen and divided certainly have a different version. they have marched with our own people here for land rights out front of parliament house.

this is a political site ay. that's why we show different subjectivities from the dominant culture - different voices and different histories. i'm sure a gay rights activist would tell a different history about alexander the great's proclivities and motivations...

here in australia, we know all too well the genocidal effects of one group's version of "history" being superimposed over another. we live in the gaps and silences of that "history". it is our right to speak from there, to fill in the gaps and eclipse the silences. and this is a forum for that particular subjective view of history.

and bro, they're all subjective.
