The Nonconformists

Informationen zum Autor Nick Miller teaches courses on modern European history, nationalism, communism, and refugees, along with other occasional offerings. He began his career researching and writing on modern Yugoslav history; currently his work focuses on Croatia, Slovenia, and (historic) refugee resettlement. Nick received his doctorate from Indiana University in 1991, and has taught at Boise State University since 1993. He chaired the History Department from 2007 to 2011, and then directed the Arts and Humanities Institute from 2011 to 2016. Klappentext Serbia's national movement of the 1980s and 1990s, the author suggests, was not the product of an ancient, immutable, and aggressive Serbian national identity; nor was it an artificial creation of powerful political actors looking to capitalize on its mobilizing power. Miller argues that cultural processes are too often ignored in favor of political ones; that Serbian intellectuals did work within a historical context, but that they were not slaves to the past. His subjects are Dobrica osi (a novelist), Mi a Popovi (a painter) and Borislav Mihajlovi Mihiz (a literary critic). These three influential Serbian intellectuals concluded by the late 1960s that communism had failed the Serbian people; together, they helped forge a new Serbian identity that fused older cultural imagery with modern conditions.
