This fascinating urban anthropological analysis of Sarajevo and its
cultural complexities examines contemporary issues of social
divisiveness, pluralism, and intergroup dynamics in the context of
national identity and state formation. Rather than seeing
Bosnia-Herzegovina as a volatile postsocialist society, the book
presents its capital city as a vibrant yet wounded center of
multicultural diversity, where citizens live in mutual recognition
of difference while asserting a lifestyle that transcends
boundaries of ethnicity and religion. It further illuminates how
Sarajevans negotiate group identity in the tumultuous context of
history, authoritarian rule, and interactions with the built
environment and one another. As she navigates the city, Fran
Markowitz shares narratives of local citizenry played out against
the larger dramas of nation and state building. She shows how
Sarajevans' national identities have been forged in the crucible of
power, culture, language, and politics. "Sarajevo: A Bosnian
Kaleidoscope" acknowledges this Central European city's dramatic
survival from the ravages of civil war as it advances into the
present-day global arena.
