In July 2020, a series of eighteen essays appeared on the Disorder of Things blog under the umbrella title, Yugosplaining the World. The project brought together 30 former Yugoslavs in the West to reflect "on what their lived experience can teach the US and other countries that are facing outbursts of nationalism, violence, and racism and help provide some avenues for addressing it or understanding it better." The Yugosplaining symposium also aimed to reclaim the authors’ own narratives from those presented by outsiders in order "to show Yugoslavia as a historical political project in a useful and relevant light." 

One year later, what did Yugosplaining get right (or wrong? What impact has the project had (if any)? What are its possible futures?

With Aida Hozić, Jelena Subotić, and Srdjan Vučetić.
