This volume provides a more detailed picture which might surprise those who thought they knew everything about Yugoslavia, as well as we are hoping to inspire others to read more about this historically social experiment that against all odds actually did exist and prospered for a while in the midst of the spiders web of the global political chaos which lasts still today. Contributors cover a range of topics including `absolute modernity,' film, and the preservation and creation of memory through clothing among others.

Book Overview: Building on the newly discovered archival material, these two multidisciplinary volumes offer a critical reevaluation of scholarship on Yugoslavia and its aftermath. Authors offer a perspective free of both the orientalist and occidentalist interpretative baggage, trying instead to offer a substantive historical, political and sociological contribution to our understanding of a failed dream of a multinational South Slavic state.
