Opis

Journey back to a turbulent period in European history with this comprehensive exploration of the position of the Serbian-Orthodox minority in the Habsburg Monarchy. Following the so-called "Great Migration" of 1690, the Orthodox faced numerous challenges as they sought to maintain their religious and cultural identity within the Habsburg Empire. This book delves into the strategies they employed to navigate political, social, and religious pressures, highlighting their resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity. Moreover, it investigates the dynamics of security surrounding their status as a religious minority. By analyzing the perception of these events in both Serbian and international historiography, and incorporating new archival materials, the book offers a variety of fresh perspectives from both macro and micro-historical outlooks.Mario Sain is a historian specializing in early modern history of Eastern and Central Europe, with a focus on religious, political, and cultural history.
