Mostar

Alok Jha visits the forests and parks of Wyoming to explore the science behind the many wild fires that have raged across the western United States this past summer. Julie Etchingham returns to the city of Mostar, twenty years after reporting from there during the Bosnian war, to discover how the city has tried to heal the ethnic divisions brought to the fore by the conflict. Emma Murphy investigates Moldova to see the central role that the country's wine is playing in a complex geo-political game between Russia and the West.

Nel giugno del 1998 i CSI, di cui Massimo Zamboni era chitarrista, tennero due concerti nella città bosniaca di Mostar dopo una serie interminabile di peripezie e soprattutto dopo un incredibile viluppo di problemi politico-etnici. Ma non era la prima esperienza di Zamboni tra le macerie di zone devastate dalla guerra: come Mostar c'era stata Beirut e la Berlino del Muro. I ricordi dei suoi "dopoguerra" sono raccolti in questo libro, un diario che racconta la tragedia quotidiana e la speranza dei luoghi più martoriati della storia dell'ultimo scorcio del Novecento.

This book presents narratives of the social use of space in the divided city of Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Through the narratives of movement in the city, the work demonstrates how residents engage informally with conflict transformation through new movement and use of spaces. This book will appeal across the social sciences, and in particular to students, academics, and researchers in the fields of peace and conflict studies, political sociology, and human geography.

Focusing on Mostar, a city in Bosnia Herzegovina that became the epitome of ethnic divisions during the Yugoslav wars, this cutting edge book considers processes of violent partitioning in cities. Providing an in-depth understanding of the social, political, and mundane dynamics that keep cities polarized, it examines the potential that moments of inter-ethnic collaboration hold in re-imaging these cities as other than divided.
