Reviews
[An] ambitious project... interesting not only in terms of informativeness but also in methodology... the concentrated result of the long-term work of two first-class Balkan history specialists. * Slavic World Journal (Bloomsbury Translation) *
This is historical writing at its best. Rich in detail -- from Macedonian lions and gladiators in ancient times to women gathering cow dung for fertilizer in the late 20th century -- this volume uses the Prespa lake region, wedged between Albanian, Greece, and North Macedonia, as a prism through which to understand the politics affecting the Balkans as a whole. Reflecting nearly three decades of research, this is an amazing book written by two veteran Balkanists at the height of their powers. * Sabrina P. Ramet, Professor Emerita, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway *
