Rezensionen

"What makes this book stand out in comparison to many other ethnographic and sociological studies on Mostar, is its focus on practices, affects and experiences, rather than on the production of narratives. In so doing, it provides a refreshing perspective. In conclusion, this is a must read for every researcher dealing with Mostar or Bosnia and Herzegovina more broadly. ... Most importantly, it offers a sense of movement to the city of Mostar through providing a much-needed and well-deserved agency and a will for a change among its citizens." (Gustav Wollentz, Space and Polity, November, 2018)
