Religion in the Post-Yugoslav Context, edited by Branislav Radeljic and Martina Topic, presents a study of something called ‘the post-Yugoslav context,’ which most of the local population is probably unaware of, since Yugoslavia has been forgotten by now. While the wars of the 1990s have ended, the postwar is still there and relevant. . . .Among the area studies specialists, the Radeljic-Topic volume will be most serviceable to students of the recent history of former Yugoslavia.
