“The Cold War” volume mentions Šešelj’s 8 years in prison, but not Demaçi’s 28
The “Joint History Project”: A five-part critique on the (mis)representation of Albanians in alternative history books.
No single case of police and military violence against Albanians is presented, yet there is mention of its reduction.
During the period between the two world wars 200,000 hectares of land were seized, half were given to settlers who came from Serbia and Montenegro.
There should have been something included about women’s education in Kosovo and their increased participation in public life.
The subchapter presents the late 1988 and early 1989 events against the abolition of Kosovo’s autonomy, including the march of 3,000 Trepça miners and the hunger strike of 1,000 miners.
