Description

This book delves into the complex post-war society of Bosnia and Herzegovina, exposing the deep interconnectedness and resilience of its three primary ethno-national groups-Bosniaks, Serbs, and Croats.

Tamara Plakalo reveals how these groups share a syncretic culture, which has been adversely affected by failed democratisation efforts. By highlighting common social structures, cultural adaptations, and ideological dynamics, this work illustrates the unifying elements that persist despite historical and political tensions.
