Banac conducts a "genetic study" of Yugoslavia, focusing tightly on the immediate aftermath of World War I. He maintains that the fatal turning point was the adoption of the centralist Vidovdan Constitution in 1921, which institutionalized Serbian hegemony and alienated other nationalities. The book traces how different group identities were built on collective memories of medieval statehood, culture, and separate regional institutions. While Serbian elites viewed the new state as a centralized extension of a victorious Serbia, Croatian and Slovenian political leadership envisioned a decentralized, voluntary federation or confederation.
