A study of the Bosnian Muslims, who are unique in Europe as indigenous Slavic Muslims. The book looks at their history, from being victims of crusades during the Middle Ages to their present plight in former Yugoslavia. It considers how ethnic tolerance turned to ethnic violence.
Although their plight now dominates television news worldwide, the Bosnian Muslims were until recently virtually unknown outside of Yugoslavia. This meticulously researched, comprehensive book traces the turbulent history of the Bosnian Muslims and shows how their mixed secular and religious identity has shaped the conflict in which they are now so tragically embroiled.
Containing chapters on the country's history, economics, international relations and politics, this book provides social scientists with an accessible overview of contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina.
