This book combines critical insight and humane sensitivity in equal measures. It is a model for how postconflict ethnography should be performed.\" * Eric Gordy, author of \u003ci\u003eGuilt, Responsibility, and Denial: The Past at Stake in Post-Milošević Serbia\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"In this rich, reflexive, and carefully crafted ethnography of youth in a Bosnian high school existing in the space between between reunification and segregation, Azra Hromadžić captures the lived realities of her subjects' everyday lives in the context of ethnicized nationalisms and international peace-building. The book is a passionate plea to look beyond the certainties of fixed categories and explore the possibilities of restoring, however fleetingly, a discourse and practice of hope for a better future.\" * Paul Stubbs, The Institute of Economics, Zagreb *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e PART I.
