Harvard University Press, 1991 - 259 pages
Published amid the unraveling of the second Yugoslavia, The Contested Country lays bare the roots of the idea of Yugoslav unity--its conflict with the Croatian and Serbian national ideologies and its peculiar alliance with liberal and progressive, especially Communist, ideologies. Aleksa Djila's unique understanding of Yugoslav psychology and history ensures that this book will remain an important part of the political discussion about the present and future of this troubled region.
