{"product_id":"nonconformists-nick-miller-9789639776135","title":"The Nonconformists: Culture, Politics, and Nationalism in a Serbian Intellectual Circle, 1944-1991","description":"Serbia's national movement of the 1980s and 1990s, the author suggests, was not the product of an ancient, immutable, and aggressive Serbian national identity; nor was it an artificial creation of powerful political actors looking to capitalize on its mobilizing power. Miller argues that cultural processes are too often ignored in favor of political ones; that Serbian intellectuals did work within a historical context, but that they were not slaves to the past. His subjects are Dobrica Ćosic (a novelist), Mica Popovic (a painter) and Borislav Mihajlovic Mihiz (a literary critic). These three influential Serbian intellectuals concluded by the late 1960s that communism had failed the Serbian people; together, they helped forge a new Serbian identity that fused older cultural imagery with modern conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9639776130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789639776135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Central European University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Nick Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982183727359,"sku":"9789639776135","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ee2c4e6-3396-4d50-858d-00d206d3d7c4.jpg?v=1683259708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nonconformists-nick-miller-9789639776135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
