Opis

One of the central challenges facing Macedonia, along with other Yugoslav successor states, is to develop civic values and to combat such uncivic values as ethnic intolerance, religious bigotry, and homophobia. This volume brings together specialists in Macedonian affairs to offer insights into the experiences and values of the Macedonians.

Recenzje

"This edited volume will provide a wealthy pool of information and basis for comparison in any future studies on North Macedonian society's gradual, and often painful, advance toward a fully-fledged civic-value-based democracy." (Josef M. Djordjevski, Southeastern Europe, Vol. 44 (3), 2020)
