Bosnian Refugees in Chicago: Gender, Performance, and Post-War
Economies studies refugee migration through the experiences of
survivors of the 1990s wars in former Yugoslavia as they rebuild
home, family, and social lives in the wake of their displacement.
Ana Croegaert explores post-1970s Yugoslav-era socialism, American
neoliberal capitalism, and anti-Muslim geopolitics to examine
women's varied perspectives on their postwar lives in the United
States. Based on more than a decade of fieldwork, Croegaert takes
readers into staged performances, coffee rituals, protests,
memorials, homes, and non-governmental organizations to shine a
light on the pressures women contend with in their efforts to make
a living and to narrate their wartime injuries. Ultimately,
Croegaert argues that refugee women insist on understanding their
wartime losses as simultaneously social and material, a form of
personhood she labels "injured life." At a time of mass
displacement and heated political debates concerning refugees,
Croegaert provides an engaging portrait of a lively and diverse
group of women whose opinions on citizenship and belonging are
needed now more than ever.
