Reviews
"Still, the problem of integrating national stories into greater, transnational narratives is a key challenge in the field today - a challenge that Nonaligned Modernism takes head-on. With its emphasis on larger socio-political forces and the institutional structures they engendered, the book offers a thorough, well-researched cultural history of a country that still deserves a more prominent place in the art histories of modernism, 'global' or otherwise." RACAR
"Videkanic calls for more attention to be paid to self-governing Yugoslavia and the Nonaligned Movement, with their message of resistance to Western capitalist and colonial hegemony through economic and political cooperation, cultural exchange, justice, and respect for sovereignty, with an eye to both the post-Yugoslav successor states and the global situation. This call is all the more urgent in 2023, when the consequences of Western capitalist exploitation and neocolonialism are becoming more and more evident, not least in the form of perpetual refugee crises, global warming, and the extinction of nonhuman animal and plant species."
