The authors included in this volume are either writing from their (new) home bases in Australia, Austria, Canada, Switzerland, the UK, and the US, among others, or they have returned to Bosnia after a period of migration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The cruelty of war, the horror of genocide, and the suffering of displacement ruptured Bosnian society. This volume gathers together studies specifically by Bosnian scholars on that rupture and its aftermath. It examines a Bosnia that is local, in-between and global, a society scarred by war legacies but resilient, a culture enriching the world as it writes through its experiences. These are Bosnian studies for us all.”—Gerard Toal, Virginia Tech, Co-author of \u003ci\u003eBosnia Remade: Ethnic Cleansing and Its Reversal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is an outstanding collection of thoughtful and deeply researched essays on diaspora, ethnicity, and politics in the contemporary Balkans. The volume stands as a very valuable synthesis of interdisciplinary scholarship that outlines and expands what ‘Bosnian Studies’ means today.” —Edin Hajdarpasic, Associate Professor of History, Loyola University Chicago, author of \u003ci\u003eWhose Bosnia? Nationalism and Political Imagination in the Modern Balkans\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Karabegovic and Karamehic-Oates make a compelling, if not obvious case for the emergent scholarly field in \u003ci\u003eBosnian Studies\u003c\/i\u003e. Ironically, without the tragic and violent breakup of the former Yugoslavia, 'Bosnian Studies' as a concept may have never emerged. Genocide and the study of human rights are indeed a cornerstone to the establishment of this field of research distinctively intertwined with the study of diaspora experiences in all its realms. \u003ci\u003eBosnian Studies\u003c\/i\u003e also makes a case for scholarly research in this burgeoning field through the lens of sociology, anthropology and psychology, which has been thus far dominated by political scientists and historians.”—Tanya Domi, Columbia University and the former Spokesperson of the OSCE Mission to BiH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Speaking as a genocide studies scholar, I found this collection of essays brilliant, beautifully written, and unlike anything I have ever read.”—Douglas Irvin-Erickson, George Mason University, author of \u003ci\u003eRaphaËl Lemkin and the Concept of Genocide\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Using a multitude of different methodologies, positionalities, scales, themes, and voices, the contributors to \u003ci\u003eBosnian Studies\u003c\/i\u003e each uniquely show what an academic and personal commitment to a place—Bosnia and Herzegovina—looks like, feels like, and moves like.”—Azra Hromadžić, Syracuse University, author of \u003ci\u003eCitizens of an Empty Nation: Youth and State-Making in Postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"University of Missouri Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038754111831,"sku":"9780826222732","price":26.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780826222732.jpg?v=1750941313","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/bosnian-studies-9780826222732","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
