Description
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 melanges 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.

Reviews / Votes
"Autori ovoga djela stavili su naglasak na stil i na zavidno visoku znanstvenu razinu svoga rada. Svako poglavlje zavrsava prilicno dobrim i opsirnim sazetkom sto teze predstavljene u tekstu cini vrlo preglednim. Neka se poglavlja po sadrzaju jako poklapaju no ipak je citatelj osloboden od potrebe citanja knjige glavu po glavu. Bas nasuprot tome, poglavlja su koncipirana kao samostalna te svako po sebi predstavlja mali rad. Knjiga zavrsava kazalom imena i pojmova (str. 587-595). Ovo je veoma strucno napisano djelo, koje karakterizira sveobuhvatno istrazivanje temeljeno na opeznoj literaturi i visegodisnjem istrazivackom radu. Vrijedan je doprinos istrazivanju povijesti ideologija i politickih pokreta na Balkanu.Cijelo je djelo, a posebice dijelovi koji su usredotoceni na hrvatsku povijest ponajprije preporucljivi povjesnicarima koji se bave povijescu NDH, seljackim pokretima i drugim temama moderne povijesti. Citanjem knjige moze se iz nadregionalno kontekstualiziranih prikaza naci poticaje i ideje koji ce buducim radovima vjerojatno biti od velike koristi."
