Only a handful of Serbian textbooks from the period 1882 to 1941 make any lengthy reference to Serbia's ethnic Albanian minority. Previous scholarship on Serbian textbooks from the period before and during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1918-41) concentrates for the most part on the educational role of Serbian nationalism, and later on Yugoslavism as an official educational policy without any particular focus on the representation of minorities in textbooks. This article focuses on represantation of Albanians in the History Textbooks of Mihailo Jovic (1882-1918) and discusses the ambivalence of the Interwar Years (1918-1941).
