The author shows how Byzantine authors \"invented\" the Slavs, in order to make sense of political and military developments taking place in the Balkans. Making extensive use of archaeology to show that such developments resulted in the rise of powerful leaders, responsible for creating group identities and mobilizing warriors for successful raids across the frontier. The author rejects the idea of Slavic migration, and shows that \"the Slavs\" were the product of the frontier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florin Curta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521036151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521036153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.11d","brand":"Florin Curta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919968567551,"sku":"9780521036153","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7d8e0978-e901-4ce1-ba4d-233e2f97519d.jpg?v=1680812904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-making-of-the-slavs-florin-curta-9780521036153","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
