Series Editors: Janice Dickin and Cathy CavanaughOur Lives aims at both student and general readership.Today's students, living in a world of blogs, understand thatthere is much to be learned from the everyday lives of everyday people.Our Lives seeks to make available previously unheard voicesfrom the past and present. Social history in general contests theconstruction of history as the story of elites and the act of makingavailable the lives of everyday people, as seen by themselves, subvertseven further the contentions of social historiography. At the sametime, Our Lives aims to make available books that are goodreads. General readers are guaranteed quality, provided withintroductions that they can use to contextualize material and are givena glimpse of other works they might want to look at. It is not usualfor university presses to provide this type of primary material.Athabasca considers provision of this sort of material as important toits role as Canada's Open University.
Tensions leading to World War I brewed for years, and were brought to a head by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. But who was the assassin? What was his plan? Not many people know the name of Gavrilo Princip. Tony Fabijancic peels back the mystery surrounding Princip, and explores his journey to Sarajevo, his motivations, idealism, and Yugoslavianism. Fabijancic also connects Princip to the new Bosnia that emerged from the ethnic violence of the 1990s. Anyone with an interest in literary travel writing, Balkan nationalism, and international politics will find a wealth of historically important information folded into a remarkable story set in a fascinating land.
