Reviews
"This wonderful collection weaves together diverse and varied perspectives to explore the fascinating politics of cultural heritage in Yugoslav successor states. Properly placing cultural heritage within the contested nation-building projects of post-Yugoslav states, this volume bursts with empirical richness and detail. It is the first collection of its kind and one of tremendous scholarly value."
Jelena Subotic, Professor of Political Science, Georgia State University, USA
"This book spans the territory of the former Yugoslavia, tracing how (re)emerging nation states wrestle with the legacies of tumultuous pasts as they seek to forge themselves as modern projects with promising futures. It makes essential reading for those seeking to understand the (ab)uses of heritage for nation-building purposes as much as those intrigued by the challenges faced by the region."
Dacia Viejo Rose, Senior Lecturer in Heritage and the Politics of the Past, University of Cambridge
“The book takes an innovative approach in interweaving cultural heritage and collective remembrance theories that opens new perspectives in the field of Southeast European memory studies. The contributions, from both established scholars as well as young researchers, are well-written and will undoubtedly inspire further discussions about memory politics in this region.”
Vjeran Pavlaković, Department of Cultural Studies, University of Rijeka, Croatia
