- On everyday life and culture in Yugoslavia, see Patrick Hyder Patterson, Bought
and Sold: Living and Losing the Good Life in Socialist Yugoslavia (Ithaca, NY: Cornell
University Press, 2011), and Madigan Fichter, “Yugoslav Protest: Student Rebellion in
Belgrade, Zagreb, and Sarajevo in 1968,” Slavic Review 75, no. 1 (2016): 99–121. On the
ways Yugoslavia is being reframed in international history, see, for example: Vladimir
Kulić, “Building the Non-Aligned Babel: Babylon Hotel in Baghdad and Mobile Design
in the Global Cold War,” in “Socialist Networks,” special issue of ABE Journal 6 (2014),
and Vladimir Petrović, “Josip Broz Tito’s Summit Diplomacy in International Relations
of Socialist Yugoslavia,” Annales: Series historia et sociologia 24, no. 4 (2014): 577–92. - For an overview of how Tito’s legacy began to transform in the region, see Tamara
Pavasović Trošt, “A Personality Cult Transformed: The Evolution of Tito’s Image in
Serbian and Croatian Textbooks, 1974–2010,” Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism 14, no.
1 (2014): 146–70. Among the first historians seeking to demystify Tito was Pero Simić.
His first study, Tito-agent kominterne (Belgrade: ABC Product, 1990), was eventually
expanded with more archival documentation into the more comprehensive Tito: Fenomen
20.veka (Belgrade: Službeni glasnik, 2011). Similarly committed to demystifying Tito in
other national contexts was Miro Simčič, Tito bez maske (Ljubljana: Mladinska knjiga,
2008), and Zvonimir Despot, Tito—tajne vladara: Najnoviji prilozi za biografiju Josipa
Broza (Zagreb: Večernji list, 2009). In English, Geoffrey Swain’s political biography,
published in 2010, introduced important new material on Tito’s political journey and his
relationship with the Soviet Union; but the biography was unambiguously sympathetic
to the communist project and did not integrate available archival sources or published
primary sources that could challenge some of the established narratives. See Geoffrey
Swain, Tito: A Biography (New York: I. B. Taurus, 2010). - On the cult of personality in East European communist states, see Balázs Apor
et al., eds., The Leader Cult in Communist Dictatorships: Stalin and the Eastern Bloc (New
York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004). On Yugoslavia specifically, see the essay in this volume
by Stanislav Sretenović and Artan Puto, “Leader Cults in the Western Balkans (1945–
90): Josip Broz Tito and Enver Hoxha,” 208–23. Mitja Velikonja also addresses this in his
superb study of Tito nostalgia: Mitja Velikonja, Titostalgija: Študija nostalgije po Josipu
Brozu (Ljubljana: Mirovni inštitut, 2009). - The most exhaustive study on Tito in Croatian is the 911-page study by Ivo and
Slavko Goldstein, Tito (Zagreb: Profil, 2015); analytically, the 860-page volume edited by
Olga Manojlović Pintar provides a range of historical interpretations: Tito: Vidjenja i
tumačenja, Biblioteka Zbornici Radova 8 (Belgrade: Institut za noviju istoriju Srbije, 2011).
An analysis of Tito’s international position can be found in Vladimir Petrović, Titova
lična diplomatija: Studije i dokumentarni prilozi (Belgrade: Institut za savremenu istoriju,
2010). For an example of the less academic, more nationalist framing of Tito’s legacy, see
William Klinger and Denis Kuljiš, Tito: Neispričane priče; Tajni imperij Josipa Broza Tita
(Banja Luka: Nezavisne novine, 2013). Tito still has his defenders as well, including from
the Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, which oversees its own publications, such as
Predrag Marković, Tito: Kratka biografija (Belgrade: Muzej istorije Jugoslavije, 2015).
