Description
Ranging from medieval times to the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1992, this volume concentrates on the internal development of the Muslim community in Bosnia-Herzegovina and its relations with various suzerains. While current discussion of this population focus primarily on the legal and stategic aspects of the contemporary situation, this book explores the key periods and events in the historical evolution of this rich and most unusual community. Among the topics explored are the medieval background of Bosnia, the Ottoman conquest, Austria's reign, and a survey of the monarchy and communist rule. This text is especially intended to provide a general introduction to the non-specialist and includes a guide to resources for further study. The contributors to this collection include Roy Mottahedeh, John Fine, Colin Heywood, Justin McCarthy and Ivo Banac.
