"This innovative volume is a welcome contribution to the scholarship, with its potential to change our thinking about the Balkans, which had been too dependent on the category of the nation. This is a must-read book for both students of Balkan history with diverse disciplinary backgrounds, and the general educated reader interested in the historical and contemporary debates on the Balkans."
