Duančić, V.: Geography and Nationalist Visions of Interwar Yugoslavia

Duančić’s monograph represents a very significant and important contribution in investigating nation building processes in their connection with geographical knowledge, related to the context of South Slavic regions. The research is well situated in the interdisciplinary debate concerning the contribution of geographical knowledge and cartography in shaping the idea of nation and in naturalizing the spatial dimension of modern, territorial state, as well in contributing to the personification of nation state, thus strengthening the bound between the territorial state and the national community.
