Description
In Ethnic and National Identity in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Keith Doubt and Adnan Tufekcic analyze Bosnian social organization, cultural character, and boundary maintenance. Doubt and Tufekcic argue that modern Bosnians live in a polyethnic society, defined by a set of marriage and kinship practices that cross ethnic and national identity divisions. This book provides readers with a clearer understanding of Bosnian identity and the role of ethnic groups in an increasingly complex society.

Reviews
"Ethnic and National Identity in Bosnia-Herzegovina: Kinship and Solidarity in a Polyethnic Society is a must-read for anyone interested in better understanding the Bosnians, the Balkan melting pot, ethnicity, and its multilayered complexity. Doubt and Tufekcic have produced a book that is well written and amply documented, giving the readers a chance to get an insightful picture of affinal and ritual kinships within Bosnian society, written with eloquence and insight." -- Justyna Pilarska, University of Wroclaw
"Ethnic and National Identity in Bosnia-Herzegovina examines 'authentic syncretism,' and analyzes interrelated marriage customs and kinship structures and shows how they contribute to social intimacy and sense of solidarity in a polyethnic society. This is an excellent study with interesting results and surprising insights!" -- Christoph Wulf, Freie Universitat Berlin
"Ethnic and National Identity in Bosnia-Herzegovina provides an interesting interdisciplinary understanding of the power and persistence of affinal kinship relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The authors tackle some of the region's oldest ethnological discussions and offer new insights into how networks of solidarity are maintained in the rural parts of a fragmented, post-war state." -- Alenka Bartulovic, University of Ljubljana
"The book is a moving contribution to the Bosnian studies; Keith Doubt and Adnan Tufekcic are clearing some forgotten facets of Bosnian social plurality." -- Rusmir Mahmutcehajic, International Forum Bosnia
