- English abstract
- The book discusses the criticism of Ivo Andrić’s work by Bosniak politicians, publicists and dignitaries of the Islamic Community from the 1960s onwards, and especially since 1990. It demonstrates that this criticism serves as a vehicle for nationalist mobilization, produced by dilettanti, who regularly lack a very basic knowledge of literary criticism (such as distinguishing between a character, narrator and author). As for the political content of this criticism, it demonstrates that Bosniak nationalism, and recently also Islamism, as well as historical revisionism, nostalgia for the Ottoman Empire, and a general resentment against the secular world, are its main features.
