Inspired by the documentary Film Whose is this Song? by Adela Peeva, this book explores nationalism and shared culture in the Balkans. It is a compilation of articles by travel writers and academics, mainly of Greek-Australian background, experts in the fields of music, film, history, politics, and social sciences relating to this area of southeastern Europe. It is a book for students and also for the general reader fascinated by the Balkan region, with its rich cultural heritage, its complex history, and its conflicts.
