This book is the first detailed analysis in the English language of a hitherto under-researched part of the Balkan region (the Sandžak straddles the contemporary border between Serbia and Montenegro). It covers a broad historical period, from the Slavic migrations in the seventh century migrations to the early twenty-first century, but places an emphasis on key historical and political themes and events, such as the emergence of the Serbian Medieval Kingdom, the long period of Ottoman rule, the 1912-13 Balkan Wars, The First World War, the emergence of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the Second World War, the creation of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the disintegration that country in the early 1990s. The latter part of the book deals with the impact of the disintegration of the Yugoslav state upon the Sandžak area, the attempts by Muslim political leaders there to forge greater autonomy, and the efforts of the governments in Serbian and Montenegro to counter these. The book concludes with an analysis of the internal political and religious divisions that have characterised the recent history of the Sandžak region.
