Cities of Dust and Mud: Urbanism and Bourgeois Fantasy in the Balkans, 1820-1920 - Stanford Studies on Central and Eastern Europe
Milos Jovanovic
This book explores the social costs of urban change and the limits of modernity through a comparative study of two Balkan cities, Belgrade and Sofia. Going beyond the limits of national frameworks, this book transforms our understanding of Balkan history, national modernization, and the role of fantasy in capitalist societies, offering keen insights for today's era of growing inequality.
