Maria Falina makes an important contribution to our thinking on religion and nationalism in the Balkans. ... [Religion and Politics in Interwar Yugoslavia] gives a voice to religious thinkers and shows how their responses to challenges posed by modernity and secular nationalism were integral to the dynamic phenomenon of modern nationalism. Religious thought is not secondary or subjugated to nationalism. * CEU Review of Books *
