Across the globe, memorial and grave sites are being increasingly
weaponized in conflicts and politicized by parties to advance
agendas. Here, Carol S. Lilly examines ideas of death, politics,
memory, ideology and nationalism in the former Yugoslav republics
of Bosnia-Hercegovina, Croatia, and Serbia to shine fresh light on
cemetery culture in 20th-century Europe. More specifically, Death
and Burial in Socialist Yugoslavia investigates how the Communist
Party of Yugoslavia created its own communities of the dead by
implementing cemetery policies which reinforced their ideals of
secularism, pluralism, brotherhood, and unity. However, in doing so
the communist regime left the previous system of ethno-religious
segregation in place and further isolated Catholics, Orthodox,
Muslims and Jews who continued to be buried in separate locations.
This in turn further politicized burial rites and exacerbated
tensions between different ethno-religious communities. As a
result, by the time Yugoslavia disintegrated in the early 1990s,
dead bodies and cemeteries had become a concerted weapon of war in
the ongoing ethnic conflict. Ultimately, then, this timely study
reveals for the first time the extent to which the communist regime
not only failed to created their own communities of the dead but
also further divided and alienated living communities in
Yugoslavia.
