Kecmanovic deals with the phenomenon of ethnonationalism, both
as a broad, worldwide concern and as a key ingredient to the
struggles in the former Yugoslavia. As in the former Yugoslavia,
the rise of ethnonationalistic sentiments and attitudes coincided
with the transition from a state-and party-run affair to a new,
post-communist type of government and society. Drawing upon his
personal experiences in Sarajevo, Kecmanovic provides a unique view
of the conflict.
In a style accessible to students and general readers, he traces
the transformations of leading principles, value systems,
behavioral patterns, and views of people in times of severe ethnic
tensions. At times nearly novelistic, the book examines epidemic
ethnonationalism and individual manifestations such as violence
toward members of other groups, beliefs that ethnic differences are
genetic, a need to aggrandize and even manufacture differences
between communities.
