Burn This House The Making and Unmaking of Yugoslavia

Jasminka Udovicki is Professor of Sociology at the Massachusetts College of Art.

James Ridgeway is Washington correspondent for the Village Voice.

From reviews of the first edition: A superb collection of essays... The courage, vigour, and fair-mindedness which have survived in so many Yugoslavs through years of war and hysterical propaganda are all on display in Burn This House, by far the best book on the conflict that I have read so far." - Richard West, Times Literary Supplement "Udovicki and Ridgeway refuse to view the Yugoslavian conflict solely through the lens of ethnic hatred. They have collected local and international perspectives on a range of topics - media wars, the strange role of Tudjman, resistance in Serbia - that culminate in a complex portrait of the economic and political crisis that triggered the war." - Village Voice "This glorious and expertly edited, collaborative volume is one of the best guides to understanding the Yugoslav war of 1991-1995, providing readable historical background and balanced analyses of the war." - Sabrina P. Ramet, HMJ School of International Studies, University of Washington, Seattle
