Klappentext zu „Sarajevo: A Bosnian Kaleidoscope “
This fascinating urban anthropological analysis of Sarajevo and its cultural complexities examines contemporary issues of social divisiveness, pluralism, and intergroup dynamics in the context of national identity and state formation. Rather than seeing Bosnia-Herzegovina as a volatile postsocialist society, the book presents its capital city as a vibrant yet wounded center of multicultural diversity, where citizens live in mutual recognition of difference while asserting a lifestyle that transcends boundaries of ethnicity and religion. It further illuminates how Sarajevans negotiate group identity in the tumultuous context of history, authoritarian rule, and interactions with the built environment and one another. As she navigates the city, Fran Markowitz shares narratives of local citizenry played out against the larger dramas of nation and state building. She shows how Sarajevans' national identities have been forged in the crucible of power, culture, language, and politics. "Sarajevo: A Bosnian Kaleidoscope" acknowledges this Central European city's dramatic survival from the ravages of civil war as it advances into the present-day global arena.

Rezension zu „Sarajevo: A Bosnian Kaleidoscope “
"Recommended."--Choice "Markowitz is even capable of describing Sarajevo human destinies through its impressive historical buildings, such as Vijecnica, the city hall built in 1896 by the Austrians in the neo-Moorish style." Andrej Rahten, University of Maribor "A stunningly fresh and invigorating analysis. Markowitz's inspired approach offers multiple possibilities for envisioning the city and for recasting Bosnian identity." Michael Herzfeld, author of Evicted from Eternity: The Restructuring of Modern Rome
