Sarajevo Under Siege by Ivana Maek

Sarajevo Under Siege by Ivana Maek

A richly detailed account of the lived experiences of ordinary people in this multicultural city between 1992 and 1996, during the war in the former Yugoslavia. Exploring how civilians coped with desperate circumstances, it argues that ethnonational divisions were the result rather than the cause of the war.

"Original, important, and excitingMost ethnographies of war aren't actually conducted at the epicenters of war, nor even on the front lines. Maček's is. She stands among a handful of scholars who combine true ethnography of war with enduring commitment to both academic and personal ethics."—Carolyn Nordstrom, University of Notre Dame

"Maček succeeds in her aim of offering an anthropological perspective on war, telling the stories of Sarajevans during the siege with clarity, empathy, and intellectual integrity. . . . Maček's study represents a valuable contribution to the study of war in general and the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia in particular."—Slavic Review

Ivana Macek is Associated Professor of Cultural Anthropology and Senior Lecturer in Genocide Studies at the Hugo Valentin Center of Uppsala University, Sweden.
