Mythologies and narratives of victimization pervade contemporary
Croatia, set against the backdrop of militarized notions of
masculinity and the political mobilization of religion and
nationhood. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in rural
Dalmatia in the Croatian-Bosnian border region, this book provides
a unique account of the politics of ambiguous Europeanness from the
perspective of those living at Europe's margins. Examining
phenomena such as Marian apparitions, a historic knights
tournament, the symbolic re-signification of a massacre site, and
the desolate social situation of Croatian war veterans, Narrating
Victimhood traces the complex mechanisms of political
radicalization in a post-war scenario. This book provides a new
perspective for understanding the ongoing processes of
transformation in Southeastern Europe and the Balkans.
