Michael E Allen (October 2015) Rutgers University for CritCom- Council for European Studies: http://councilforeuropeanstudies.org/critcom/football-in-southeastern-europe-from-ethnic-homogenization-to-reconciliation/ 'The study of sport in Southeastern Europe and especially in post-Yugoslavia has been revitalised and expanded in recent years by a new cohort of researchers, and Football in Southeastern Europe does an effective job of showcasing how the field is emerging: some of the projects represented in this book have continued since the volume was published and will no doubt lead to books of their own.'
