- There is an extensive English-language scholarship on historical revisionism and
nationalist reframings in ex-Yugoslavia. For examples from different parts of the region,
see Sabrina P. Ramet, “Memory and Identity in the Yugoslav Successor States,” Nation-
alities Papers 41, no. 6 (2013): 876, and Ramet, “The Denial Syndrome and Its Conse-
quences: Serbian Political Culture since 2000,” Communist and Post-Communist Studies
40, no. 1 (2007): 41–58; Oto Luthar, “Forgetting Does (Not) Hurt: Historical Revision-
ism in Post-Socialist Slovenia,” Nationalities Papers 41, no. 6 (2013): 882–92; Vjeran
Pavlaković, “Symbols and the Culture of Memory in Republika Srpska Krajina,” Nation-
alities Papers 41, no. 6 (2013): 893–909; Tea Sindbaek, “The Fall and Rise of a National
Hero: Interpretations of Draža Mihailović and the Chetniks in Yugoslavia and Serbia
since 1945,” Journal of Contemporary European Studies 17, no. 1 (2009): 47–59; Nebojša
Čagorović, “Anti-fascism and Montenegrin Identity since 1990,” History 97, no. 398
(2012): 578–90. - A useful overview of this process in Croatia and Serbia can be found in Srdjan
Cvijić, “Swinging the Pendulum: World War II History, Politics, National Identity and
Difficulties of Reconciliation in Croatia and Serbia,” Nationalities Papers 36, no. 4
(2008): 713–40. Timothy Garton Ash discusses this phenomenon in a broader East
European context in the opening section of “Trials, Purges and History Lessons: Treat-
ing a Difficult Past in Post-Communist Europe,” in Memory and Power in Post-war
Europe, ed. Jan-Werner Müller (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2002), 266. - Critiques of the parallel can be found in Jelena Subotić, “The Mythologizing of
Communist Violence,” in Post-Communist Transitional Justice: Lessons from 25 Years of
Experience, ed. Lavinia Stan and Nadya Nedelsky (New York: Cambridge University
Press, 2015), 188–209, and Slavko Goldstein and Ivo Goldstein, Jasenovac i Bleiburg nisu
isto (Zagreb: Novi Liber, 2011). - Pirjevec did so through analysis of the Vidovdan holiday over the course of the
Yugoslav twentieth century. See Jože Pirjevec, Il Giorno di san Vito. Jugoslavia 1918–1992:
Storia di una tragedia (Turin: Nuova Eri, 1993). English-language overviews of Yugosla-
via include John B. Allcock, Explaining Yugoslavia (New York: Columbia University
Press, 2000); John R. Lampe, Yugoslavia as History: Twice There Was a Country (New York:
Cambridge University Press, 2000); Sabrina P. Ramet, The Three Yugoslavias: State-
Building and Legitimation, 1918–2005 (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2006). - On interwar Yugoslavia, see Christian Axboe Nielsen, Making Yugoslavs: Identity
in King Aleksandar’s Yugoslavia (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2014), and Dejan
Djokić, Elusive Compromise: A History of Interwar Yugoslavia (New York: Columbia
University Press, 2007). On World War II, see Jelena Batinić, Women and Yugoslav Par-
tisans: A History of World War II Resistance (New York: Cambridge University Press,
