Waiting for Elijah is an intimate portrait of time-reckoning,
syncretism, and proximity in one of the world's most polarized
landscapes, the Bosnian Field of Gacko. Centered on the shared
harvest feast of Elijah's Day, the once eagerly awaited pinnacle of
the annual cycle, the book shows how the fractured postwar
landscape beckoned the return of communal life that entails such
waiting. This seemingly paradoxical situation-waiting to
wait-becomes a starting point for a broader discussion on the
complexity of time set between cosmology, nationalism, and embodied
memories of proximity.
