Abstract

Een geschiedenis van de Serviërs, wat meer is dan een geschiedenis van Servië zoals we het vandaag kennen. Het boek beschrijft de geschiedenis van de Serviërs sinds de eerste Slavische migraties naar de Balkan en het middeleeuwse Servische koninkrijk. Uiteraard komt ook de Turkse periode en de langzame emancipatie van de Serviërs in een onafhankelijk koninkrijk aan bod. Maar zeer veel aandacht gaat ook naar het ontstaan van Joegoslavië na wereldoorlog I, de bloedige ervaring tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog en het uiteenspatten van datzelfde Joegoslavië in de jaren negentig. Zoals de auteur zelf in zijn inleiding zegt is het hierbij de bedoeling uit te leggen hoe de Servische identiteit groeide tot wat ze nu is, hoe deze identeit levendig werd gehouden doorheen de lange Ottomaanse bezetting, hoe de diverse migratiestromen en historische gebeurtenissen maken dat er niet alleen in Servië Serviërs leven of tot voor kort leefden. Het licht ook de rol toe die het Servische nationalisme na de val van het communisme speelde.

Abstract

Ever since Ukraine's violent 2014 revolution, followed by Russia's annexation of Crimea, the country has been at war. Misinformation reigns, more than two million people have been displaced, and Ukrainians fight one another on a second front - the crucial war against corruption. The author lays bare the events that have turned neighbors against one another and mired Europe's second-largest country in a conflict seemingly without end. In Lviv, Ukraine's western cultural capital, mothers tend the graves of sons killed on the other side of the country. On the Maidan, the square where the protests that deposed President Yanukovych began, pamphleteers, recruiters, buskers, and mascots compete for attention. In Donetsk, civilians who cheered Russia's President Putin find their hopes crushed as they realize they have been trapped in the twilight zone of a frozen conflict. The author talks to everyone from politicians to poets, pensioners, and historians. Listening to their clashing explanations, he interweaves their stories to create a sweeping, tragic portrait of a country fighting a war of independence from Russia - twenty-five years after the collapse of the USSR.

Abstract

"Urgent and insightful, Tim Judah's account of the human side of the conflict in Ukraine is an evocative exploration of what the second largest country in Europe feels like in wartime. Making his way from the Polish border in the west, through the capital city and the heart of the 2014 revolution, to the eastern frontline near the Russian border, seasoned war reporter Tim Judah brings a rare glimpse of the reality behind the headlines. Along the way he talks to the people living through the conflict - mothers, soldiers, businessmen, poets, politicians - whose memories of a contested past shape their attitudes, allegiances and hopes for the future. Together, their stories paint a vivid picture of a nation trapped between powerful forces, both political and historical."--Goodreads.com.
