Guilt, Responsibility, and Denial: The Past at Stake in Post-Milosevic Serbia (Pennsylvania Studies in Human Rights)

Eric Gordy
In one of the first studies to look at how the Yugoslav wars are understood in Serbian culture, Eric Gordy examines the legacy that confronted the country when Slobodan Milošević was forced out of power in 2000, assessing where transitional justice has achieved its goals, where it has not, and why it matters.
