Kenneth Morrison draws upon an extensive range of primary and secondary sources to illuminate the key developments in Montenegro during three decades characterised by political, social and economic flux. Beginning with the 'happening of the people' in 1988 and concluding with a detailed analysis of political developments in the first decade since Montenegro gained its independence, the author addresses the themes of nationalism, identity, statehood and the party political dynamics in both the Montenegrin and the wider Southeast European context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Kenneth Morrison has written a book of great insight and analytical skill … [He] impresses the reader repeatedly with his profound expertise and perceptive reading of evidence … The book can be recommended in the strongest terms to anyone interested in the formation of the Montenegrin state and nationhood.” - \u003ci\u003eCanadian Slavonic Papers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“An exceptionally well-researched, well-written and fair-minded analysis of the trajectory of recent events in a small, but important, Balkan land that is all too often overlooked by regional pundits.
