Description: Taming Balkan Nationalism by Robin Okey Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The first full-length history in English of the clash between the Habsburg occupiers of Bosnia-Herzegovina and their Serb, Croat, and Muslim subjects, from 1878 to the fateful assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. Publisher Description Concentrating on the politics of the Habsburg Monarchys self-proclaimed cultural mission in occupied Bosnia in the period from 1878 to the outbreak of war in 1914, Taming Balkan Nationalism addresses two related issues: the impact of Europeanization in a backward society and the crystallization of the identities which have since dominated Bosnian life. On the basis of wide reading in the Austrian, Hungarian, and south Slavsources, including the Hungarian-language papers of the two leading administrators of Bosnia, Benjamin von Kállay and István Burián, Robin Okey provides fresh and wide-ranging perspectives on a whole range of issues,including the Orientalist assumptions of Austrian policy, the struggle of administrators for the moral high ground with nascent Serb and Croat intelligentsias, Kállays controversial policy of the Bosnian nation, and the strategy and personality of the intriguing Burián. He also opens up the hitherto unexplored background to student terrorism in the secondary schools of pre-1914 Bosnia, from which the assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was toemerge.Beyond this immediate historical context, the book also sheds much light on wider issues such as the construction of Serb and Croat nationhood in Bosnia, the beginnings of the Europeanization of Bosnian Muslims, andthe new divisions created by the rapid pace of social, economic, and intellectual change as the nineteenth turned into the twentieth century. Author Biography Robin Okey is Professor of History at the University of Warwick and has published widely on Habsburg, Balkan, and east European history.
