Indigenous diasporas and dislocations
Graham Harvey and Charles D. Thompson, Jr
"Indigenous religions are now present not only in their places of origin but globally. They are significant parts of the pluralism and diversity of the contemporary world, especially when their performance enriches and/or challenges host populations. Indigenous Diasporas and Dislocations engages with examples of communities with different experiences, expectations and evaluations of diaspora life. It contributes significantly to debates about indigenous cultures and religions and to understandings of identity and alterity in late- or post-modernity. This book promises to enrich understanding of indigenity and of the globalized world in which indigenous people play diverse roles."--BOOK JACKET.
The former Yugoslavia's diverse peoples
Matjaž Klemenčič and Mitja Žagar
"At the end of the twentieth century, interregional hostilities in the former Yugoslavia culminated with Slobodan Milosevic's campaign of ethnic cleansing, NATO intervention in the region, and, ultimately, revolution. But these were just the latest episodes of upheaval in a region rocked by ethnic violence for centuries. From the settlement of the South Slavs in the sixth century to the crisis and democratization in the 1980s and the disintegration of the country in the early 1990s, The Former Yugoslavia's Diverse Peoples traces the bloody history of the region through to the fragile alliances of its present-day countries."--Jacket.
