Some sources (been cited here before, but, probably before Joe arrived here) on Otpor and the Serb political culture and intelligentsia. Laura Secor, first on the "Praxis" philosophers like Markovic that turned nationalist, http://www.linguafranca.com/9909/testbet.html http://www.webactive.com/radionation/rn990929.html http://www.webactive.com/radionation/rn20001018.html http://nuance.dhs.org/lbo-talk/9908/1864.html http://slate.msn.com/Egghead/99-02-02/Egghead.asp and, Secor on otpor, http://www.otpor.net/news/Lingua%20Franca.html . The Washington Post on NED funding of otpor, (via a website with Jared Israel and my favorite Serbian-American far right polemicist, Bob Djurdjevic, http://www.haverford.edu/relg/sells/reports/muttamericabelgrade.htm http://www.haverford.edu/relg/sells/reports/gopbelgrade.htm ) http://lai-aib.org/lai/article_lai.phtml?section=A3ABBBACBB&object_id=2406 .
The Free Serbia website has papers using, "The Authoritarian Personality, " as a point of reference. (That goes to the a-infos post on "Western" vs. "Eastern")
Robert Thomas, "The Politics of Serbia in the 90's, " Columbia Univ. Press, 2000. Lenard Cohen, "Serpent in the Bosom: The Rise and Fall of Slobodan Milosevic, " Westview Press, 2001. Should get around to reading (Yoshie has) Susan Woodward and Julie Mertus and Eric Gordy and new book by Steven Schwartz (preface by C. Hitchens) and (hmm, can't remember or find the title & author of a stidy by a U.S. woman anthropologist on Serbian political culture. She examines, for example, rock and roll in Serbia) well that's enough...Oops, the new Chomsky and M. Parenti volumes from Verso. Must get e-mail to Parenti on the subject of one of his chapters, Blagovesta Doncheva, and her (hopefully temporary?) enthusiasm for Russian neo-fascist metaphysician, Alexander Dugin.
