"Lovrenovic's talents lie not in the enumeration of historical
facts, but in constructing (or discovering) a narrative to the
evolving idea of Bosnia."
--"Slavic and European Journal"
While the contemporary political history of Bosnia has been
played out on television for international audiences, the
complicated cultural basis for recent historical events remains
largely unknown. Why did Bosnians who spoke the same language
fracture along religious and ethnic lines? Is there a distinct
Bosnian nation and Bosnian culture? What does it mean to be Bosnian
if one is Serbian or Croatian? And what does the future hold for
artistic and intellectual life in Bosnia?
In Bosnia: A Cultural History, Ivan Lovrenovic provides a
complex and detailed account of Bosnian history from a unique and
often overlooked perspective. Focusing on the changes in religious,
cultural, and ethnic influences from Paleolithic times to the
present, Lovrenovic's analysis probes deep into the Bosnian past
and helps to enlighten the reader as to the present and potential
future of this troubled land.
The evolution of the Bosnian Church distinct from the Greek
Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches, the role of Islam and
Judaism, religious and secular architecture, ancient and modern
prose and poetry, music, radio, film and television are all
discussed to offer a comprehensive portrait of Bosnian culture.
