“Vedran Duančić monograph represents a very significant and important contribution to investigating nation building processes in their connection with geographical knowledge, related to the context of South Slavic regions. … The book would have benefitted from a broader archival investigation of primary sources … as well as a deeper comparison with Italian geographical works and intellectual figures. … the book is a very rich contribution to the debate on histories of geographies and their involvement in nation building processes.” (Matteo Proto, Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, Vol. 71 (1), 2022)
