This volume attempts contribute to the discussion about the nation, nationalism, and its inevitable attendant, enmity. In what sense have friendship and hostility gained new meanings, and what would those meanings be? Does nation-building always involve a category of a common enemy one has to fight, thereby developing the Politics of Enmity? The volume originated from the project Figuring out the “Enemy: Re-imagining Serbian-Albanian Relations” that aimed to challenge Serbian-Albanian hostility by reinvestigating events and discourses, ideas and traditions that would undermine the present enmity and promote friendship.
