Contains many brilliant insights and always displays the author's enormous erudition. * CHOICE *
Todorova's book is a passionate, provocative, and necessary attempt to retrace the construction of a pejorative image of the Balkans. * Nicholas J. Miller, Journal of Interdisciplinary History *
Full of challenging ideas, forcefully presented opinions, references for further reading, and enlightening observations. * Gale Stokes, H-Net *
By far the best work of historiography on the region. * Tomislav Z. Longinovic, Lingua Franca *
[Imagining the Balkans] gained the status of a classic and it can certainly be regarded as one of the most influential books about (Southeast) European history of the past decades ... Maria Todorova's book has not lost in importance in the 20 years since it was published. It was a 'must-read' when it came out and it remains so today. * Hannes Grandits, Reviews in History *
