At a time of dramatic struggles over monuments around the world,
this book examines monuments that have been erected in
post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) since 1996. Examining
the historical precedents for the high rate of monumentbuilding,
and its links to ongoing political instability and national
animosity, this book identifies the culture of remembrance in BiH
as symptomatic of a broader shift: a monumentalisation and
privatisation of history. It provides an argument for how to
account for the politics of contemporary nation-state formation,
control of space, trauma and revisions of history in a region that
has been subject to prolonged instability and crisis. This book
will be of interest to scholars in contemporary art, museum
studies, war and conflict studies, and European studies.
