The Youngest Yugoslavs
An Oral History of Post-Socialist Memory
Book •
The book gathers interviews with members of the last generation to experience a unified Yugoslavia as children.
Born between 1971 and 1991, this cohort spent a relatively short period of their childhood in Yugoslavia.
Yet the Yugoslav experience had a profound and lasting impact on their lives.
The eight individuals selected for this collection share memories of their childhood during the final decades of socialism.
They offer unique insights into what it means to lose a country, and how they continue to find meaning in the Yugoslav past.
