Balkan Idols: Religion and Nationalism in Yugoslav States (ISBN 0-19-517429-1) is a book written by Vjekoslav Perica. It was first published in the year 2002. The text explores the political roles of religious organizations in the republics of the former Yugoslavia. The notion that a "clash of civilizations" played a central role in creating aggression is rejected by the author.
Reviews
"Vjekoslav Perica brilliantly recounts the role of religious narratives, institutions, organizations, and, most importantly, church or religious authorities both in constituting the three dominant identities of Yugoslavs and, in turn, in appropriating those narratives and identities for the destruction of the Yugoslav state and the possibility of civic and civil life in it... Fundamentalism is the enemy of all that makes democracies functional and civility possible, whether in secular, religious, nationalist, patriotic, or ethnic clothing. Perica's contribution to our understanding of this phenomenon is immense." ––Journal of the American Academy of Religion [citation needed]
"Vjekoslav Perica's masterfully written and extensively researched book fills an important gap in the historical scholarship on twentieth century southeastern Europe." ––Association of Contemporary Church Historians [citation needed]
