ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | Kosovo has traditionally been viewed as a frontier society where two Balkan nations, Albanian and Serb, as well as two religions, Islam and Christianity, clash over conflicts of national and religious identity. While this rift is usually perceived as hard and fast, the author shows that the area also has a history of coexistence through cultural contact, religious exchange, and conversion-processes that are important survival strategies in conditions of violence and insecurity. This new perspective explores the ambiguities surrounding Balkan identities and the tension between conflict and cooperatige coexistence. Through compelling case studies of various ethnic groups, the author offers a fresh look at how religion shapes efforts to construct or reconstruct identity in changing and contingent ways. |
