"The first volume of Entangled Histories of the Balkans, edited by Roumen Daskalov and Tchavdar Marinov, reads like one would wish all histories of South-eastern Europe to read: deconstructivist, de-essentializing, focused on processes, entanglements, shared history [...] In a nutshell: the six authors have laid the foundation for a research agenda, that will provide South-eastern Europe with the historiographical position it deserves: an exciting place in world history." – Sabine Rutar, in: H-Soz-u-KultSee also Brill's Slavic and Eurasian Studies Facebook page (@brillslavic).
