商品簡介
Examining the cultural and political contours of the Balkans and the different approaches to drawing borders between them and Europe, Foteva pays close attention to the impact of the Ottoman and Habsburg Empires on the cultural formation of the region, particularly on the liminal, in-between zones of these empires. She analyzes the historical and political discourses and the fictional imagination of the zones to reveal the historical negotiations of identity and cultural boundaries within a region with borders that have always been fluid, arbitrary, and particularly challenging to Europe's most cherished self-images.
