Shortly after the book's protagonists moved into their apartment
complex in Sarajevo, they, like many others, were overcome by the
1992-1995 war and the disintegration of socialist Yugoslavia More
than a decade later, in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, they felt
they were collectively stuck in a time warp where nothing seemed to
be as it should be. Starting from everyday concerns, this book
paints a compassionate yet critical portrait of people's sense that
they were in limbo, trapped in a seemingly endless "Meantime."
Ethnographically investigating yearnings for "normal lives" in the
European semi-periphery, it proposes fresh analytical tools to
explore how the time and place in which we are caught shape our
hopes and fears.
