Vassilis Petsinis gives a lucid introduction to the recent history and politics of the Vojvodina. His account is neatly structured, written in accessible language, and situated in an effective theoretical and comparative framework. It is an important contribution not only to South-East European studies but also to the developing literature on the relationship between national and regional identities in contemporary Europe. * Martyn Rady, Masaryk Professor of Central European History, UCL, UK *
I recommend this book to scholars, students and political actors, who deal with the questions of multiculturalism and regionalization, both in Western Balkans and across Europe. * Nations and Nationalism *
