{"product_id":"sarajevo-fran-markowitz-9780252077135","title":"Sarajevo: A Bosnian Kaleidoscope","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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. \u003ci\u003eSarajevo: A Bosnian Kaleidoscope\u003c\/i\u003e acknowledges this Central European city's dramatic survival from the ravages of civil war as it advances into the present-day global arena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fran Markowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 025207713X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252077135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011","brand":"Fran Markowitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086449193215,"sku":"9780252077135","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fe8110e-90c5-4a9e-9200-ed032f30440b.jpg?v=1769094735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sarajevo-fran-markowitz-9780252077135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
