Croatia Strikes Back
The Saga Continues... in Croatia! In this sequel to the thrilling, er... well... humorous bestselling book, Chasing a Croatian Girl, we find author and hrvatski zet, Cody McClain Brown continuing his epic struggle to make Croatia his home. Allied with his wife, daughter, and mother-in-law, Cody joins new friends, new neighbors, and A DOG in an enthralling battle against bureaucracy, rampant skepticism, the Croatian language, and an impossible, physics-defying apartment. Croatia Strikes Back confronts the challenges of living in Croatia with laughter, community, and some much needed perseverance.
Chasing a Croatian Girl
This is the lighthearted story of American Cody McClain Brown's adjustments to life in Croatia. After falling in love with an enigmatic, beautiful Croatian girl (whom he knows is from Croatia but assumes that means Russia), Cody eventually woos her and the two move to Split, Croatia. There, he encounters a world of deadly drafts, endless coffees, and the forceful will of his matriarchal mother-in-law. Chasing a Croatian Girl moves past the beautiful pictures of Croatia and humorously discovers the beauty of Croatia's people and culture.

International Courts and Mass Atrocity
The extra-legal effects of international and domestic war crimes trials continue to puzzle researchers and practitioners. In the former Yugoslav states, the legacy of conflict and issues of transitional justice remains central in politics, society and culture. This book provides a new theoretical and methodological approach to one of these puzzles: why universal human rights norms become distorted or undermined when they reach local publics. It investigates the social and cultural contexts that transitional justice processes take place in by looking at how emotional everyday narratives can hamper the spread of norms in society. In Croatia, these narratives define how the public understands the rule of law, history and minority rights.

Reise Know-How KulturSchock Kroatien
Dieses Buch blickt hinter die touristische Fassade von Strandurlaub und Grillteller und versucht, der manchmal widersprüchlichen Mentalität der Kroaten auf die Spur zu kommen: Sie sind westlich orientiert, pflegen aber ihre Folklore wie ein Heiligtum. Sie sind zukunftsgewandt, ziehen aber immer wieder die Geschichte heran. Sie sind in Feierlaune und witzig, können aber auch furchtbar jammern. Als Individuen sind sie bescheiden und bodenständig, im Kollektiv leben sie "im schönsten Land auf Gottes Erde". Unterhaltsam und leicht verständlich räumt die Autorin kulturelle Stolpersteine aus dem Weg und vermittelt fundiertes Hintergrundwissen zu Geschichte, Gesellschaft, Alltagsleben und Traditionen. Wer auf Tuchfühlung mit seinen Gastgebern und anderen Kroaten gehen will, erhält eine Vielzahl an praktischen Verhaltenstipps. So mögen es die Kroaten zum Beispiel nicht, wenn man ihr Land dem Balkan zuordnet. Auf der anderen Seite erfahren die Leser aber auch, über welche Themen man sich bestens austauschen kann, was Kroaten von Touristen und persönlichen Gästen erwarten und warum der bewundernde Blick auf Deutschland kaum getrübt ist.
