The Romance-Speaking Balkans: Language and the Politics of Identity

The relationship between language and identity is a complex topic everywhere in the world, but maybe it is even more crucial for those people living in the Balkans who speak a Romance variety. This volume is the result of a project started by the Balkan History Association, and brings together scholars trained in social sciences and humanities to offer the reader a thorough sociolinguistic and anthropological account of this region. It constitutes a contribution to a reformulation of methodological and analytical issues, providing a better insight in the linguistic and geopolitical processes taking place in the area. Contributors are Michael Studemund\-Halévy, Cătălin Mamali, Anna\-Christine Weirich, Ewa Nowicka, Daniela\-Carmen Stoica, Mircea Măran, Zvjezdana Vrzic, and Monica Huțanu.
