Abstract

[The goal of this project is to analyze the ongoing politicization of history as an instrument of power at the hands of nationalists in former Yugoslavia. We define the politicization of history as history’s instrumentalization by institutions for the purpose of achieving political goals, in this case retaining and prolonging conflict between groups, and blocking the process of lasting reconciliation in former Yugoslavia. This is largely done by attempting to control the public collective memory through the relativization of well-documented facts.]
