Recensioner i media

“This compelling study of Sarajevo’s place in Yugoslavia during the 1980s sets the prevailing view of its history, characterized by the rise of ethnonationalism across the country, against an opposing trend that emerged in major Yugoslav cities and amongst the youth. The effect of Jovanovic’s book, therefore, is to overturn all the easily-drawn links between the two (or three) events that made Sarajevo globally famous (or notorious), to expose them as tenuous, or even tendentious.” (Bojan Aleksov, Slavonic and East European Review SEER, Vol. 101 (1), January, 2023)
