Bosnia Remade: Ethnic Cleansing and its Reversal

This very well crafted book tells both the terrible story of the ethnic cleansing of large parts of Bosnia in the 1990s and the attempts to subsequently reverse the process. Refusing to accept the consequences of the violence implied the obvious need for reconstruction, and the return of the displaced people. The complicated and messy process that has resulted gives this book its all too apt title. The implications of the analysis stretch well beyond Bosnia and pose the contemporary dilemmas of geopolitics in sharp relief. As such, this is a detailed case study that has implications for numerous scholarly investigations of contemporary politics and boundary-making in particular.
