About This Item

Durham: Duke Univ Pr, 1997. First Edition. Paperback. Fine/No Dust Jacket. 9.20 x 6.00 x 1.00 inches. Fine condition. The covers are in great shape with only light shelf wear. The binding is square and tight. Small abrasion to the half-title page. The interior pages are clean and unmarked. The book will be carefully packaged for shipment for protection from the elements. USPS electronic tracking number issued free of charge. This anthology is based on the premise that authors from the former Yugoslavia have yet much to teach us about their country's tragedy. The result is a collection of rich insights drawn from the history of Ottoman rule through the burdens of implementing the Dayton Accords. Specialists will particularly applaud articles revealing the critical importance of the current opposition press in Croatia and Serbia. Susan Woodward (Brookings), the single non-Yugoslav contributor, adds an excellent chapter on foreign involvement in the early phases of the conflict. Other contributors sharpen our image of the overall situation by demolishing the ""ancient hatreds"" thesis of violent conflict and identifying President Tudjman's ""ultranationalism"" as the ""single most important ideological resource"" for Serbia's Milosevic. Editor Udovicki's concluding plea for the West to enunciate clearly a ""firm universal principle"" of minority rights is compelling. Highly recommended for all academic and larger public libraries.
