The Formation of Croatian National Identity
This book assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework, calling into question both primordial and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity, before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so, the book provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important. An explanation is given of how Croatian national identity was formed in the abstract, via a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state. The book shows how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different versions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were manifested in social activities as diverse as football, religion, economics and language. This book attempts to make an important contribution to both the way we study nationalism and national identity, and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.
The Life, Music, and Times of Carlos Gardel
In the first biography in English of the great Argentinian tango singer Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Collier traces his rise from very modest beginnings to become the first genuine "superstar" of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens, Gardel won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires singing in cafes and political clubs. By the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, the songs he wrote and sang enjoyed instant popularity and have become classics of the genre. He began making movies in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as the most popular star of the Spanish-language cinema, and at the time of his death Paramount was planning to launch his Hollywood career.Collier's biography focuses on Gardel's artistic career and achievements but also sets his life story within the context of the tango tradition, of early twentieth-century Argentina, and of the history of popular entertainment.

V siju meseèine
Knjiga je redkost v evropskem merilu za področje predkrščanskih verovanj. Posebna dragocenost je, da gre za zapis iz prve roke, tako kot so avtorju pripovedovali njegovi najbližji, babice, dedki in vaščani, ki so ohranjali predkrščanska verovanja in obrede vse do minulega stoletja. Knjiga je zato neizčrpen vir staroverskih praks, verovanj, svetih mest in drugega folklornega izročila v vaseh Lokev, Prelože in njihovi bližnji soseščini. Kot taka je eden temeljnih virov študija mitologije pri Slovanih in tudi splošno ter spomenik povezanosti kraške narave in njenih ljudi.

Poetika slovenske slovstvene folklore
Monografija je na Slovenskem pionirsko delo o treh vrstah poetik ljudske ustvarjalnosti, tj. zvočni, vizualni in kompozicijski. Delo priča o tem, kako se slovenski (ljudski) človek na jezikovno estetski ravni odziva na resničnost, kako jo poimenuje, upoveduje in hkrati soustvarja. Prvo poglavje je namenjeno zvočni poetiki, npr. prevajanju in ljudskem osmišljanju oglašanj ptičev (ptičjic) in zvonov (zvončic); v poglavju o vizualni poetiki avtorica obravnava dojemanje in upovedovanje prostora, bajčnih bitij, barv, števil; v zadnjem poglavju o kompoziciji poudari pomen kategorije časa ter logiko oblikovanja začetkov in koncev pri pripovedovanju, posebej na primeru Kračmanovih pravljic in individualne poetike Gašperja Križnika. Z nadvse raznovrstnim in bogatim gradivom avtorica ilustrira izjemne metaforične kompetence slovenskega človeka in dokazuje, kako so tudi slovstveni folklori lastne estetske zakonitosti ali kot pravi v sklepu: “... v slovstveni folklori – če je umetnost govorjenega jezika! – je vedno navzoča tudi estetska funkcija.”
