Entangled Histories of the Balkans - Volume Two
Transfers of Political Ideologies and Institutions
Series: - Balkan Studies Library, Volume: 12
Modern Balkan history has traditionally been studied by national historians in terms of separate national histories taking place within bounded state territories. The authors in this volume take a different approach. They all seek to treat the modern history of the region from a transnational and relational perspective in terms of shared and connected, as well as entangled, histories, transfers and crossings. This goes along with an interest in the way ideas, institutions and techniques were selected, transferred and adapted to Balkan conditions and how they interacted with those conditions, resulting in mélanges and hybridization. The volume also invites reflection on the interacting entities in the very process of their creation and consecutive transformations rather than taking them as givens.

"Autori ovoga djela stavili su naglasak na stil i na zavidno visoku znanstvenu razinu svoga rada. Svako poglavlje zavrÅ¡ava priliÄno dobrim i opÅ¡irnim sažetkom Å¡to teze predstavljene u tekstu Äini vrlo preglednim. Neka se poglavlja po sadržaju jako poklapaju no ipak je Äitatelj osloboÄen od potrebe Äitanja knjige glavu po glavu. BaÅ¡ nasuprot tome, poglavlja su koncipirana kao samostalna te svako po sebi predstavlja mali rad. Knjiga zavrÅ¡ava kazalom imena i pojmova (str. 587-595). Ovo je veoma struÄno napisano djelo, koje karakterizira sveobuhvatno istraživanje temeljeno na opežnoj literaturi i viÅ¡egodiÅ¡njem istraživaÄkom radu. Vrijedan je doprinos istraživanju povijesti ideologija i politiÄkih pokreta na Balkanu.
Cijelo je djelo, a posebice dijelovi koji su usredotoÄeni na hrvatsku povijest ponajprije preporuÄljivi povjesniÄarima koji se bave povijeÅ¡Äu NDH, seljaÄkim pokretima i drugim temama moderne povijesti. Äitanjem knjige može se iz nadregionalno kontekstualiziranih prikaza naÄi poticaje i ideje koji Äe buduÄim radovima vjerojatno biti od velike koristi."
