The Former Yugoslavia's Diverse Peoples
Author: Matjaz Klemencic Ph.D.
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1851095470
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
This authoritative exploration of the ethnic history of the former Yugoslavia traces the roots of the conflicts that convulsed the region in the 1990s. At the end of the 20th century, interregional conflicts in the former Yugoslavia culminated with Slobodon Milo?evic's campaign of ethnic cleansing, which led to NATO intervention and ultimately revolution. What ignited these conflicts? What can we learn from them about introducing democracy in multiethnic regions? What does the future hold for the region? To answer these questions, this timely volume examines the ethnic history of the former Yugoslavia. From the settlement of the South Slavs in the 6th century to the present—paying special attention to the post-World War II era, the crisis and democratization in the 1980s, and the disintegration of the country in the early 1990s. This comprehensive single volume traces the bloody history of the region through to the fragile alliances of its present-day countries.

The Balkans
Author: Robert Bideleux
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134583273
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 909
Book Description
An excellent companion volume to the successful A History of Eastern Europe, this is a country-by-country treatment of the contemporary history of each of the Balkan states: Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosova. With a distinctive conceptual framework for explaining divergent patterns of historical change, the book shifts the emphasis away from traditional cultural explanations and concentrates on the pervasive influence of strongly entrenched vertical power-structures and power-relations. Focusing on political and economic continuities and changes since the 1980s, The Balkans includes brief overviews of the history of each state prior to the 1980s to provide the background to enable all students of Eastern European history to make sense of the more recent developments.

Rise From Want
Author: James C. Davis
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 1512807141
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Rise From Want explores the ways in which a family of poor peasants from the Karst plateau above Trieste, Italy, lived through the great changes brought about by industrialization and modernization. The book is a careful and imaginative reconstruction of the lives of some humble and illiterate people who left behind them few traces of their existence. Through a gripping narrative of the Žužek family, Davis explores the social changes that accompanied the peasants' "rise from want." During the Middle Ages, the first Žužeks were serfs of the lords in the nearby castle of Duino. Two centuries ago the Žužeks were freed from serfdom, but for another hundred years they continued to be poor and illiterate. In recent decades they have left the land. In each chapter Davis focuses on the ways in which the Žužeks responded to broad social changes. He looks, for example, at how the Žužeks viewed the end of serfdom, and how it affected their ability to make a living; how changes in diet, housing, and medicine reduced the number of infant deaths; how their move from farming to other kinds of work affected relations between husbands, wives and children; how they survived through World War II; and how the prosperity of the industrialized world that began in the 1950s affected their lives. And while Davis focuses on the Žužeks' reactions to these events, he puts them into a context relevant to the historical experience of millions of people. As source material, Davis used not only written sources such as castle charters, church registers, tax collectors' reports, travel diaries, and police records but also interviews with the surviving Žužeks and many elderly villagers who remembered the Karst as it was on the eve of the great changes of the twentieth century. Rise From Want will be of interest to students and scholars of history, especially those concerned with serfdom, industrialization and modernization, population change, Italy, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It will also be of interest to those who have "somewhere among their ancestors, a poor peasant or two."
