Elusive Balkans. Barbara Jelavich: History of the Balkans

Summary/Abstract: Barbara Jelavich, who died recently, taught history for nearly four decades at the University of California, Berkeley, and Indiana University. With her husband Charles, she was one of the pioneers of Balkan historical scholarship in North America. When the American universities became the prime center of Balkan studies after the Second World War, the role of the Jelaviches acquired a broader significance both in research and the training of graduate students. The two-volume history of the modem Balkans, recently published in Hungarian translation, represents the apex of Barbara Jelavich’s lifelong accomplishment.
