Religious Quest and National Identity in the Balkans

This book offers rare insights into the cultural traditions that have shaped the Balkan region--from pagan times, through folk culture, the medieval Christian churches, the encounter between Christianity and Islam, up to the religious and national mythologies that have proved so destructive in the present day. With the Balkans a central focus of European concern at the beginning of the 21st Century, this volume is a timely reminder of the complex cultural processes that continue to affect the modern world.Hawkesworth, Celia is the author of 'Religious Quest and National Identity in the Balkans' with ISBN 9780333778104 and ISBN 0333778103.
