Change, Continuity and Crisis. Montenegro’s Political Trajectory (1988-2016)
Montenegro has passed through more than two decades of flux to reach its current status as a NATO member and European Union (EU) candidate. The smallest republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Montenegro’s modern history has been characterised by both significant change (in statehood) and relative continuity (in leadership). The author focuses on the period between the republic’s first multiparty elections in 1990, through the 1…

Sarajevo's Holiday Inn on the Frontline of Politics and War
Hostelry in Extremis
This chapter focuses primarily on Hostelry in Extremis and how the hotel provided the basic necessities such as food, water, electricity, and heat for the guests. To do so, the management had to operate within the specific economic dynamics of the siege, trading on the black market and, often, trading across siege lines to acquire food and other basic goods. This chapter provides an analysis of how this was done, by both staff and the guests (who…

Montenegro: A Modern History
In May 2006, following a closely and bitterly fought referendum, Montenegro finally regained the status of an independent nation that it had lost in 1918 - the most recent chapter in a highly turbulent history. The tiny Balkan republica??s declaration of independence from Serbia represented - barring the final resolution of Kosovoa??s status - the final stage in the disintegration of what was once Yugoslavia. But how did the Balkans forge this ti…

The Betrayal of Faith: The Tragic Journey of a Colonial Native Convert (review)
Montenegro's Kosovo Crisis
Montenegro's recognition of Kosovo in October 2008 precipitated a political crisis. Prior to recognition, both internal and external factors had contributed to an increasing tension that pressed for a decision on the issue. With the Serb community in Montenegro still coming to terms with the country's break from Serbia in 2006, it heavily opposed a recognition of Kosovo. The Albanian community, on the other hand, well integrated and loyal to the …

On reciprocity and mutual reflection in the study of Native American religions
Based on field research among the Hopi Indians of Arizona, this essay explores problems that broadly can be defined as postmodern reflections on the study of religion. In dealing with the religions of living cultures and especially with cultures that have been subject to colonialism, students of religion are faced with the difficult issues of orientalism, the construction of the exotic, the representation or misrepresentation of other cultures, a…

Sharing the flower: A non-supernaturalistic theory of grace
Questioning the usual understanding of Native American religions as supernaturalistic, this study re-examines the ritual system of the Yaqui people of Arizona. First, it evaluates assumptions about the nature of religion—including God, grace, and prayer—which inform the ethnographical interpretation of Yaqui religion. Second, it reconstructs the Yaqui cosmological system and relates their complex cosmos to the traditional religious actors, the De…

The Montagnais kin groups which entered the Canadian mission at Sillery in 1639 throw signrficant light on the process of religious change. The Jesuit Relations richly document the Montagnais’ culture, and describe in detail their struggle to comprehend Catholicism. As a result, it is possible to achieve an Indian history grounded in the reality assumptions of a particular Native American people. The Montagnais demonstrate that when religious cha…

The Bias of Colonial Law: English Paranoia and the Abenaki Arena of King Philip's War, 1675-1678
ALTHOUGH legal issues have figured significantly in the . historiography of King Philip's War, little more than the structural outlines of the legal conflict have been explored. Most histories do not examine the differing cultural assumptions Englishmen and Indians made about social and legal order. Recent studies emphasize the legal irritations of early Indian-White relations which eventually drove the New England Algonkians to war to defend the…

Dentists’perceptions of Their Patients: Relation to Quality of Care
This study investigates dentists' perceptions of their patients and the relation of these perceptions to measures of actual quality of restorative treatment. The results indicate that 1) though the dentists see their patients as "cooperative," they perceived a substantial number of "problems," i.e., willingness to pay for optimal care or follow professional recommendations; and 2) there are significant associations between dentists' perceptions o…
