Арменско, леринско: Борби и жртви

The book Armensko Lerin Region: Struggles and Sacrifices (Άλωνα Φλώρινας: Αγώνες και Θυσίες) by Pavlos Koufis, is a folklore and ethnographic study of the region around the village formerly known as Armen­sko (now renamed Alona) in the Florina area, Macedonia, today in Greece.

The book explores the identity, customs, and traditions of the Macedonian village of Armen­sko (Alona) and its surroundings. Pavlos Koufis, born in that very village (1913–2003), presents an insider’s account of the local culture, its dances, songs, foods, and other folk traditions.

Pavlos Koufis’s book is a heartfelt and intimate ethnographic record of a small, distinctive community at the crossroads of cultural and political change. It celebrates the everyday folk life, songs, dances, stories, and safeguards a linguistic variant that faces pressure from both state-level normalization and broader geopolitical agendas.
