Event overview
Bosnian author and journalist Muharem Bazdulj and Reader in History at Goldsmiths College Dr Dejan Djokic discuss alternative perspectives on the Sarajevo assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
The 'Young Bosnia' were a revolutionary group of young men from different ethinic persuasions who came together in the early years of the 20th century with the aim of freeing Bosnia from the Austo-Hungarian Empire and creating a union of south-Slav peoples. Misunderstood and mis-represented by the dominant powers of the day, the truth about Gavrilo Princip - "the man who ignited WWI" - and his companions has long been debated. This talk brings together two leading experts from Princip's homeland(s) of Bosnia and Serbia, and offers a unique and 'inside' view of this contentious movement.
This event is brought to you by the Conway Hall Ethical Society & the New Humanist Magazine.
Co-sponsored by Istros Books and the Centre for the Study of the Balkans, Goldsmiths.
