Description

Explore the complex relationship between the Balkans and the West in this scholarly collection from Routledge. Spanning the years 1945 to 2003, this volume investigates how these two regions have defined and perceived one another over the last fifty years. Through a diverse range of sources, including fiction, film, journalism, travel writing, and diplomatic records, contributors analyze the concept of Western European balkanism. The book also examines how the Balkans have represented the West, offering a balanced look at cross-continental perceptions. The first section provides a deep look into the Cold War era. It examines the various images of the Balkans that appeared in Western culture, noting that these representations were often divergent and sometimes even favorable. This collection serves as a vital resource for understanding the historical construction of the European Other and the cultural shifts that shaped regional identities during the late twentieth century.
