This book examines the making and breaking of peripheral selves in
and from postsocialist Bosnia in an empirically rich self-reflexive
account of politico-economic and ideological developments. Through
world systems and postcolonial theory, historical and new
materialist optics, discursive and affective analytical registers,
and various qualitative methodological choices, the author analyzes
peripheral subjectivity in connection to global proletarianization,
as well as past and present resistance via social and personal
movement(s). She refers to past Yugoslav socialist and anticolonial
struggles as well as more recent ones, including the social justice
and feminist collective, engaging with workers' and women's
struggles in postwar Bosnia and the Justice for David movement.
Finally, she analyzes the lives of new third-wave Bosnian migrants
to Germany post-2015, placing them in juxtaposition with
non-European migrants in Bosnian reception centers and exposing
labor and race, border struggles and market as new variables for
studying selves in this particular context. Writing about "situated
knowledge" and "politics of location," the author stresses the
importance of strong affective ties within researcher-researched
assemblages urging for deeper coalitions and solidarity among
various peripheral, power-differentiated communities. This book
will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in linguistics,
sociology, post-Yugoslav history, cultural studies and
anthropology.
Youth Ethnic and National Identity in Bosnia and Herzegovina is an
interdisciplinary effort to position and describe the contested
nature of state and ethnic identity among youth in Bosnia and
Herzegovina by providing empirical, first-hand evidence on identity
structure and the subsequent implications for inter-group
relations.
Youth Ethnic and National Identity in Bosnia and Herzegovina offers
a unique insight into the ethnic relations of contemporary Bosnia
and Herzegovina by providing a wealth of new primary data on the
Bosnian-Herzegovinian youth attitudes. The study utilizes both
quantitative and qualitative research techniques such as large
scale surveys, focus groups, interviews and discourse analysis
among others. The data are interpreted in accordance with the
theoretical models drawn from different academic disciplines
including social psychology, cultural studies, linguistics,
sociology, anthropology and social and political theory. In
exploring the social context of living in post-conflict societies
such as Bosnia and Herzegovina and the social and psychological
research on the phenomenon of ethnicity, this book reveals a
society of sharp, constitution-embedded ethnic divisions, which are
maintained through different aspects of social and individual
lives; by being politicized, one's ethnicity also became a relevant
point of reference in everyday life, focusing people's lives on
ethno-driven cognition, emotions, and behaviour. Furthermore,
through the study of ethnic identity of youth in
Bosnia-Herzegovina, this book analyzes how ethnic identity is
constructed through social relations, communication, social
perception, and political attitudes among young people.
