IMAGINING BOSNIAN MUSLIMS IN CENTRAL EUROPEAUSTRIAN AND HABSBURG STUDIES
General Editor: Howard Louthan, Center for Austrian Studies, University of Minnesota
Before 1918, Austria and the Habsburg lands constituted an expansive multinational and multiethnic empire, the second largest state in Europe and a key site for cultural and intellectual developments across the continent. At the turn of the twentieth century, the region gave birth to modern psychology, philosophy, economics and music, and since then has played an important mediating role between Western and Eastern Europe, today participating as a critical member of the European Union. The volumes in this series address specific themes and questions around the history, culture, politics, social and economic experience of Austria, the Habsburg Empire, and its successor states in Central and Eastern Europe.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book represents the final result of the research project entitled Stedn Evropa a balknt muslimov: vztahy, obrazy, stereotypy [Central Europe and Balkan Muslims: Relations, Images, Stereotypes], coordinated by Ladislav Hladk (Institute of History, Czech Academy of Sciences, Brno) and Frantiek stek (Institute of History, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague). The project was generously supported by the Czech Academy of Sciences research framework Strategy AV21 Top Research in the Public Interest in 2017, more specifically by the research programme for social sciences and humanities entitled Europe and the State: Between Civilization and Barbarity.
I greatly appreciate the scholarly advice of Ladislav Hladk and his organizational contribution during the research phase of the project. I would like to thank my colleagues and friends who took part in our research project at various stages, especially the active participants of our seminars and international conference, for their ideas and support. I especially wish to thank all the collaborators on this volume for their hard work and patience. Bojan Baskar (University of Ljubljana) and Clemens Ruthner (Trinity College, Dublin) read parts of the work-in-progress, and provided me with valuable feedback at the right time. My special thanks go to copywriter and translator John Spence for his professional and meticulous proofreading of the manuscript at several stages of the work. I am also indebted to the two anonymous reviewers commissioned by the publisher for their positive assessment of the volume, and their comments and suggestions. At Berghahn Books, I would like to thank senior editor Chris Chappell and editorial assistant Mykelin Higham for their cooperation and readiness to answer all my questions.
For the cover of this book, the photographer and photography historian Pavel Scheufler (Prague) has kindly granted us permission to use an image from his unique collection of photographs from the Austro-Hungarian period. The photo was taken in the town of Cazin in north-western Bosnia, probably in 1906, by Rudolf Bruner Dvok (18641921), an important yet (for much of the twentieth century) nearly forgotten figure of Central European photojournalism who served as the official photographer to the Habsburg heir to the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, from 1891 until the Sarajevo Assassination of June 1914.
