This book examines the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympic Games. It tells
the story of the extensive infrastructural transformation of the
city and its changing global image in relation to hosting of the
Games. Reviewing different cultural representations of Sarajevo in
the period from the 1960s to the 1980s, the book explores how the
promotion of the city as a future global tourist centre resulted in
an increased awareness among its populace of the city's cultural
particularities. The analysis reveals how the process of
modernisation relating to hosting of the Olympics provided an
opportunity to re-imagine the city as a particularly
environmentally progressive city. Placed within the field of
studies of late socialism, the book offers important insights into
Yugoslav society during the period, including those relating to the
country's unique geopolitical position and its nationalities
policies.
