After the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, no-one was prepared
for the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia. Suddenly old terms like
chetnik and ustasha found new currency, and a new term surfaced -
'ethnic cleansing' - with its sickening echo of 'final solution'.
The upsurge of nationalist sentiment in Eastern Europe raises the
question whether the wars in the former Yugoslavia are harbingers
of things to come. Will the racist idea of the ethnically pure
state crush the humanist ideal of the multicultural society?
Yugoslavian Inferno provides a rich analysis of the complex issues
that brought about the demise of Yugoslavia and the ensuing
fratricidal warfare. It pays particular attention to the role of
religion in fanning the flames of interethnic hatred and is written
by a scholar uniquely placed to write it. A Yugoslavian-American
with roots in both Croatia and Serbia, whose religious tradition is
Protestant, rather than Catholic, Orthodox, or Muslim, Paul Mojzes
is an internationally recognized authority on religion in Eastern
Europe. Based on travels in the region, interviews with
politicians, scholars, and religious leaders, as well as news
accounts and monographs in generally inaccessible languages, and
formulated after a lifetime of scholarly achievement, Yugoslavian
Inferno presents insights that only a native can provide and the
critical objectivity that only an outsider can offer.
