(LS15.03, C, Ground Floor)
Manchester University Press (Manchester), 2018
This is the first book to situate the territories and collective identities
of former Yugoslavia within the politics of race – not just ethnicity - and
the history of how ideas of racialised difference have been translated
globally. The book connects critical race scholarship, global historical
sociologies of ‘race in translation’ and south-east European cultural
critique to show that the Yugoslav region is deeply embedded in global
formations of race. In doing this, it considers the everyday geopolitical
imagination of popular culture; the history of ethnicity, nationhood and
migration; transnational formations of race before and during state
socialism, including the Non-Aligned Movement; and post-Yugoslav dis-
courses of security, migration, terrorism and international intervention,
including the War on Terror and the present refugee crisis.

This book describes, compares, explains, and contextualises the
positionings, i.e. discourses and activities, which feminists in Belgrade,
Serbia and Zagreb, Croatia produced in relation to the (post-)Yugoslav
wars of the 1990s. Two types of positionings are analysed: those which
the feminists have produced on the (sexual) war violence and those
which they have produced on each other

Berghahn (New York and Oxford), 2018
In Serbia, as elsewhere in postsocialist Europe, the rise of “civil socie-
ty” was expected to support a smooth transformation to Western mod-
els of liberal democracy and capitalism. More than twenty years after
the Yugoslav wars, these expectations appear largely unmet. Frontiers
of Civil Society asks why, exploring the roles of multiple civil society
forces in a set of government “reforms” of society and individuals in the
early 2010s, and examining them in the broader context of social strug-
gles over neoliberal restructuring and transnational integration.
