Focusing on Mostar, a city in Bosnia Herzegovina that became the
epitome of ethnic divisions during the Yugoslav wars, this cutting
edge book considers processes of violent partitioning in cities.
Providing an in-depth understanding of the social, political, and
mundane dynamics that keep cities polarized, it examines the
potential that moments of inter-ethnic collaboration hold in
re-imaging these cities as other than divided. Against the backdrop
of normalised practices of ethnic partitioning, the book studies
both 'planned' and 'unplanned' moments of disruption; it looks at
how networks of solidarity come into existence regardless of
identity politics as well as the role of organised grassroots
groups that attempt to create more inclusive; and it critically
engages with urban spaces of resistance. Challenging the
representation of the city as merely a site of ethnic divisions,
the author also explores the complexities arising from living in a
city that validates its citizens solely through ethnicity.
Elaborating on the relationships between space, culture and social
change, this book is a key read for scholars, students, and urban
practitioners studying ethnically divided cities worldwide.
