Titoism, self-determination, nationalism, cultural memor

Description

Volume two 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 spider's 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. Volume one challenges decades of superficial and selective rhetoric about Tito's Yugoslavia that came from different sides and political interests, foreign as well as domestic. The essays are meant to fill in some of those black holes in some already existing descriptions of Tito's Yugoslavia that unfortunately saw daylight and lived long and prosperous lives, longer than should have been the case. Contributors cover a range of topics including the abolition of the multi-party system, non-alignment, and the 1968 reinforcing position among others.
