"We Are Now a Nation: Croats Between 'Home' and 'Homeland' Hardcover, Daphne"

Hardback book in new condition inside and out, with minimal shelf wear. Published by the University of Toronto Press, Canada, in 2007. This book examines the impact of the Yugoslav War of Succession and Croatia's independence on the Croatian diaspora-homeland relations. It addresses complex issues such as ideology, nostalgia, social suffering, nationalism, and identity politics. Daphne Winland's extensive, multi-sited ethnographic research in Toronto and Croatia from 1992 to the present explores the problematic nature of Croatian identity. The book suggests that Croatian independence led to the emergence of a politics of 'desire' and 'disdain,' complicating efforts to reconcile identities.
