The autonomous province of Vojvodina in Serbia is little-known in the English-speaking world, even though it is a territory of high significance for the development of Serbian national identity. Vojvodina's multi-ethnic composition and historical experience has also encouraged the formation of a distinct regional identity. This book analyses the evolution of Vojvodina's identity over time and the unique pattern of ethnic relations in the province. Although approximately 25 ethnic communities live in Vojvodina, it is by no means a divided society. Intercultural cohabitation has been a living reality in the province for centuries and this largely accounts for the lack of ethnic conflict. Vassilis Petsinis explores Vojvodina's intercultural society and shows how this has facilitated the introduction of flexible and regionalized legal models for the management of ethnic relations in Serbia since the 2000s. He also discusses recent developments in the region, most notably the arrival of refugees from Syria and Iraq, and measures the impact that these changes have had on social stability and inter-group relations in the province.
The Velebit necropolis, located in the southernCarpathian Basin remains to this day an unpublished archaeological site,although it has been known for almost 50 years. It represents the onlysystematically-investigated Tumulus (Hügelgräber) culture necropolis in theterritories of Serbia and Vojvodina which has not been completely published sofar. Bi-ritual burial rites from the Bronze Age perspective of the Velebitnecropolis are not so rare in the Tumulus Culture commonwealth (Central Europe,Carpathian Basin and Transdanubian region), but the equal representation ofboth burial customs is quite uncommon. Graves from the undisturbed contexts atthe Velebit necropolis show some differences in Koszider bronze and potteryburial gifts, gender and maybe social differentiation in communities. Certainartefacts possibly indicate economic stratification and the presence ofcraftsmen (metallurgists) in these Middle Bronze Age communities, which isconsidered one of the more significant traits of the Tumulus culture.
