Abstract

"Balkan Identities brings together historians, anthropologists, and literary scholars all working under the shared conviction that the only way to come to terms with history is to achieve an intimate understanding of it. The contributors to Balkan Identities focus on historical memory, collective national memory, and the political manipulation of national identities. They refine our understanding of memory and identity in general and explore and assess the significance of particular manifestations of Balkan national identities and national memories in the region."--Jacket.
