DOC A Brief History of Citizenship by Derek Heater in History

Description

While the Bosnian Muslims have for understandable reasons attracted a great deal of recent attention; other Muslim groups in the Balkans have escaped similar scrutiny. Bringing together leading specialists in the region to address this gap; this volume focuses on the question of Muslim identity in the contemporary Balkans. With the exception of the Bosnians; all of the Muslim communities of the former Yugoslavia are examined--the Sandzak; Kosovo and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)--as well as those of Greece; Bulgaria; and Albania. Combining a multidisciplinary approach not often found in studies of the Balkans with an accessible and readable format; this volume offers a detailed look at the religious; ethnic; and national identities of the Balkan Muslims and their relationships with the states in which they live.
