"Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980): a biography" is a political biography of one of the leading figures in Europe during the Second World War and postware times. Although more then 30 years elapsed from Tito's death, there is no standard biography of him. The book will primarily be written for the Croatian (and ex-Yugoslav) market. Josip Broz Tito was a man of a fascinating biography. During 35 years of his absolute rule in Yugoslavia (1945-1980) he in the same time a dictator, a modernizer, a charismatic person. At the beginning of the 21st c., in a postideological enviroment, one needs to re-examine all these qualifications.
"Albanians in Yugoslavia (1918-1991)" examines the history of Albanian minority during monarchistic (1918-1941) and socialistic (1945-1991) Yugoslavia, as well as during the Second World War. The text is mostly dealing with Albanians in Kosovo, but also speaks about Albanians in Crna Gora (Montenegro) and Macedonia and about Albanian diapora elsewhere in Yugoslavia. It is a complex history of a minority living in already complicated state. Investigating the relationship of the Albanians with the other nations, particularly with the Serbs in Kosovo, implies political, sociological, economic and cultural analysis. It also implies that one should confront two antagonistic narratives, Serbian and Albanian, about their relationship, and to find the "third" way to deal with this historical matter.Member of the Academic Working Group as a delegate of Croatia in Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research.
