Bøker av Sabrina Petra Ramet

This book analyzes the rise of specific rock groups throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, examining the broader social culture in which they operated and evaluating the political ramifications of their popularity.

Ramet traces the steady deterioration of Yugoslavia's political and social fabric in the years since 1980, arguing that, while the federal system and multiethnic fabric laid down fault lines, the final crisis was sown in the failure to resolve the legitimacy question, triggered by economic deterioration.

In the 1980s, under economic deterioration and the pressure of Serbia's ambitious political establishment, Yugoslavia broke up along ethnic fault lines. This volume recounts socialist Yugoslavia's troubles and the challenges facing its successor states from May 1980 to December 2000.
