Partisans in Yugoslavia: Literature, films and visual culture

Abstract

in previous studies (p. 163). Despite the focus on one region, Baskerville offers a balanced perspective that disentangles the long-held, general image of people “on the move” in agricultural settings: the author weighs economic positions and cultural variables for rural mobility and relies on occasional snapshots (i.e. Benson) to illustrate longitudinal trends within the data (p. 141). Due to its topical scope Lives in Transition is an essential reference guide for researchers interested in all aspects of computer based data-mining and longitudinal analysis. The wide range of chapters provokes questions concerning social strategies and other variables that nudge individuals and families in their patterns of mobility. Moreover, it inspires research into cross-border migration, transformation of the farming economy, and urban social change in other regions of the world. The volume, however, offers little in terms of methodological reflection, and lacks a poignant conclusion, making it unlikely to have an impactful word in such a tantalizing subject.
