This book explores social transformations which led to the
establishment of medieval Hum (future Herzegovina) and Bosnia in
the period from ca. 450 to 1200 AD using the available written and
material sources. It follows social and political developments in
these historical regions from the last centuries of Late Antiquity,
through the social collapse of the seventh and eighth centuries,
and into their new medieval beginnings in the ninth. Fragmentary
and problematic sources from this period were, in the past, often
used to justify modern political claims to these contested
territories and incorporate them into the 'national biographies' of
the Croats, Serbs and Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), or to support the
'Yugoslavizing' and other ideological discourses. The book goes
beyond ideological and national mythologemes of the past in order
to provide a new historical narrative that brings more light to
this region placed on the frontiers of both the medieval West and
the Byzantine empire. It provides a new views of the period between
ca. 450 and 1200 for the parts of Western Balkans and Eastern
Adriatic, brings the most recent local historical and
archaeological research to the Anglophone readership, and
contributes to the scholarship of the late antique and early
medieval Mediterranean with study of very poorly known area. The
book is intended for academic audience interested in history and
archaeology of the Late Antiquity and early Middle Ages, but also
to all those interested in general history of Herzegovina, Bosnia,
Dalmatia and the Balkans.
