Beskrivning

The fall of the United Nations 'safe area' of Srebrenica in July 1995 to Bosnian Serb and Serbian forces stands out as the international community's most egregious failure to intervene during the Bosnian war. It led to genocide, forced displacement and a legacy of loss. But wartime inaction has since spurred numerous postwar attempts to address the atrocities' effects on Bosnian society and its diaspora. Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide reveals how interactions between local, national and international interventions - from refugee return and resettlement to commemorations, war crimes trials, immigration proceedings and election reform - have led to subtle, positive effects of social repair, despite persistent attempts at denial. Using an interdisciplinary approach, diverse research methods, and more than a decade of fieldwork in five countries, Lara J. Nettelfield and Sarah E. Wagner trace the genocide's reverberations in Bosnia and abroad. The findings of this study have implications for research on post-conflict societies around the world.

Recensioner i media

'Extending the purview of their single-authored books on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nettelfield and Wagner have produced an authoritative account of genocide's aftermath in the Drina Valley. The book easily surpasses most of what passes for scholarship on 'post-conflict justice'. Closely observed, deeply researched, and empathetically written, their longitudinal analysis of local dynamics of contention in Srebrenica and environs complicates - in an admirable way - all kinds of simplistic assumptions about the nature and promise of international humanitarianism. By taking ethnography seriously, the authors have made an important contribution to both the study of genocide and of war.' Jens Meierhenrich, London School of Economics and Political Science
