Balkan Worlds

Stoianovich presents an unconventional, total history of the Balkan experience, covering subjects such as folklore, technology, economics, and religious, national, and ethnic ideologies from Neolithic cultures to the present. Part one is a revised and enlarged version of the author's earlier work, A Study in Balkan Civilization, while part two discusses modern day issues such as cultural mobilization by generation, population thresholds of capitalism, and possible consequences for the Balkans and Europe following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and federal Yugoslavia.
