The creation of a Yugoslav state and its collective memory was highly influenced by the state imposed cultural policies. While the nation itself violently collapsed in the 1990s, whereby creating a large victim diaspora, in the aftermath, its population recalls it as an economically and politically stable and safe, a phenomenon deemed as Yugonostalgia. This paper seeks to present and critically observe the current multigenerational existence and interpretation of Yugonostalgia through theoretical perspectives and field work in Yugoslav Detroit Diaspora, while explaining its past, current, and future discourse as a product of collective memory. |
