Princeton University Press Being Muslim the Bosnian Way - Princeton University Press Book

Explore a moving ethnographic account of Bosnian Muslim life through the eyes of Tone Bringa. This book provides a deep look into a rural village in Central Bosnia, documenting the dramatic shifts in identity and community over a six-year period. Readers follow the transition from the economic struggles of the late 1980s and the optimism of 1990 to the devastating reality of war. This study captures the lived experiences of a community facing extreme hardship. It details the period when the village was surrounded by war in early 1993, the subsequent attack by Croat forces in April 1993, and the tragic outcome by October 1993 when the Muslim population was gone due to flight, detention, or death. Part of the Princeton Studies in Muslim Politics series, this work is an essential read for those interested in European history and the impact of conflict on social structures.
