Overview

This interdisciplinary examination of present-day identities and histories of the former Yugoslavia explores relationships with the social, political, cultural and historical 'facts and fictions' that have marked the different parts of the region. It shows that while nationalism remains important other social dynamics also exert a strong influence.

Reviews

'This volume is a testament to what can be achieved when, in proximity of the Scheveningen prison for war criminals, a group of scholars, joined by an American bestselling author, take a long-distance look on 'post-Yugoslavia', a country that does not belong to the geo-political reality but is not less real for that fact. The essays in this volume offer a fresh critical glance at the usual post-conflict tropes but by looking beyond them engage masterfully with emerging social, cultural and political phenomena that fertilise the exhausted soil of Post-Yugoslavia.' -Igor Stiks, Edinburgh College of Art, The University of Edinburgh, UK

“Post-Yugoslavia. New Cultural and Political perspectives, co-edited by Dino Abazović and Mitja Velikonja, makes a valuable interdisciplinary contribution to the research of contemporary post-Yugoslav socio-cultural problematics. … this book is an important read not only for students and scholars working on the peculiarities of the post-Yugoslav condition but also for those interested in broader processes of transitional justice and collective memory redefinitions.” (Mateja Sinčić, Southeastern Europe, Vol. 41 (3), 2017)
