Summary:

The essays in this book focus on the post-Yugoslav cultural transition and try to answer questions about what has been gained and what has been lost since the dissolution of the common country. The volume contains a unique variety of scholarly articles and personal essays-a mixture that brings topics and writers who are usually treated separately into fruitful dialog with one another. Radmila Gorup is Senior Lecturer at the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Columbia University. Book jacket.
