More than any other art form, literature defined Eastern Europe as a cultural and political entity in the second half of the twentieth century. Although often persecuted by the state, East European writers' voices were heard and revered inside and outside their countries. This study considers the effects of the end of communism on such writers.
This work explores the role of literature in the former Yugoslavia's attempts to create a multicultural nation. It focuses on the cultural processes by which the idea of a nation was developed and on the reasons that this idea failed to bind the South Slavs into a viable nation and state.
