Vesna Drapac provides an insightful survey of the changing nature
of the Yugoslav ideal, demonstrating why Yugoslavism was championed
at different times and by whom, and how it was constructed in the
minds of outside observers. Covering the period from the 1850s to
the death of Tito in 1980, Drapac situates Yugoslavia in the
broader international context and examines its history within the
more familiar story of Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. This approachable study also explores key themes and
debates, including: * the place of the nation-state within the
worldview of nineteenth-century intellectuals * the memory of war
and commemorative practices in the interwar years * resistance and
collaboration * the nature of dictatorships * gender and
citizenship * Yugoslavia's role from the perspective of the
'Superpowers'. Drawing on a wide range of sources in order to
recreate the atmosphere of the period, Constructing Yugoslavia
traces the formation of popular perceptions of Yugoslavia and their
impact on policy toward Yugoslavs. It is essential reading for
anyone with an interest in the history of this fascinating nation,
and its ultimate demise.
