Uros Cvoro is senior lecturer in Art and Design and a researcher at Contemporary Culture, Art & Politics (CCAP) at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
Post-communism is not merely a historical condition; it is an ideology too that makes people mis-perceive their present, falsify their past and forget their future - all in the interest of the new rulers. This has become obvious in former Yugoslavia like nowhere else in the post-communist world. In his book Uros Cvoro has excellently demonstrated both the intellectual courage to openly reveal this truth and scholar's capacity to make his principle witness speak, the post-Yugoslav contemporary art, lucid, cheeky and unapologetic as ever - a necessary reading for all those who are tired of all the empty promises of the post-communism. -- Boris Buden, Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Art and Design, Bauhaus University, Germany
