Over 20 years after the war in Yugoslavia; this book looks back at its two most iconic cities and the phenomenon of exile emerging as a consequence of living in them in the 1990s. It uses examples ranging from street interventions to theatre performances to explore the making of urban counter-sites through theatricality and utopian performatives.

Review
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Excellent StartBy S. LivingstonThere are a number of truly excellent; insightful; and must read essays in this book; covering ideas of the other; gender; orientalism; and black women in art history. Which is my only criticism of the book; it is about art history; not contemporary art and not about the theory itself. The theories are employed within the essays which is helpful to see how that is done; but if you are looking for the source of the theories on race and on race in art; this is not the text. However; there are a lot of great essays; very interesting to read; very accessible; not so ladened with theory as to be unapproachable.
