Synopsis
When the Yugoslav communists came into power in 1945, they claimed to have introduced a socialist solution to the Yugoslav national question. But what did this claim imply? 'Creating a Socialist Yugoslavia: Tito, Communist Leadership and the National Question' charts the approach pursued by Yugoslav communist leaders from their endorsement in 1935 of a strategy committing to the search for a 'socialist solution' to the national question within a multinational Yugoslav context, until the party disintegrated in 1990. Hilde Katrine Haug examines the impact of the communist leadership's aspirations to create a socialist Yugoslavia on their management of national conflict in the highly heterogeneous Yugoslav state entity.

"What Dr. Haug has accomplished is to give us a new look at the Communist contribution to nationality relations in Yugoslavia. This is not the first such attempt in the literature on Yugoslav history, but this is the first major look at the subject with the benefit of hindsight after the collapse of the Yugoslav state. It is now abundantly clear that there were major flaws in Tito's nationality policy, indeed that the "management" of nationality affairs and the Titoist federal policy in its totality greatly contributed to Yugoslavia's bloody denouement. Dr. Haug has written with this understanding in mind and created a very measured answer to a series of complicated period questions. I am certain that this work will provoke a new reading of the long period of Communist engagement in Yugoslavia's internal relations." --Ivo Banac, Bradford Durfee Emeritus Professor of History, Yale University "Hilde Katrine Haug's new book, Creating a Socialist Yugoslavia, makes an important contribution to the literature on Tito's Yugoslavia. Energetically researched, her book provides a reliable and balanced guide to understanding the evolving policy of the Yugoslav communists vis-a-vis the national question and their understanding of the challenge posed by multi-ethnicity. Covering the period from 1935 until the disintegration of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia in 1990, her book will be welcomed by all those who are interested in what made Yugoslavia tick." --Sabrina Ramet, Professor of Political Science, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
