Critical Spaces of Hope: Locating Postsocialism and the Future in post-Yugoslav Anthropology aims to deprovincialize the anthropology of the former Yugoslavia by putting it in long overdue conversation with the study of postsocialism. It does so by bringing together an international group of junior anthropologists engaged in ongoing post-Yugoslav field research and senior anthropologists known for their work on postsocialist transformation.
