Evil Doesn't Live Here
For most Americans and Europeans, the Bosnian War was played out in the brief, flickering images of television news. But another set of images, more permanent and more profound, played an active role in this war, molding public sentiment and calling attention to the plight of the Bosnian people. For three hellish years, Bosnians plastered the walls of their towns with messages of anger, frustration, desperation, resistance, and hope. These extraordinary images, the focus of this book, are juxtaposed with the hateful, divisive works of propaganda that served the most vicious practitioners of "ethnic cleansing." Evil Doesn't Live Here presents this visual battle to the rest of the world for th...

Bosnian: The Theory of Islamic Art: Aesthetic Concept and Epistemic Structure
Divine oneness as the principle of beauty is perhaps quintessentially Islamic artistic expression and experience and what it celebrates. Why has Islamic art evolved as it has, what forms does it take, what is the logic underlying it? What message is the Muslim artist attempting to convey, what emotion is he seeking to evoke? This work views Islamic art as a subject of archeological study and treats its evolution as part of the historical study of art in the broader sense. At the same time, it paves the way for an epistemological shift from viewing Islamic art as a material concept having to do with beautiful rarities and relics that have grown out of Islamic cultural and ar...
The Lost Chef
Written by his niece, this is a story about a Chef who got lost in a war and the recipes he was famous for. This book is Bosnian cooking made modern and simple, with easy to follow instructions, and a paddock to plate philosophy. Learn how to make regional favourites to tantalise your family and guests. It also offers a glimpse into the life of one man, the food he fed his family, and tells, with refreshing honesty, the story of a region blighted by war.
Ruined Landscapes
This book is Buxton's Balkan legacy. Her curiously unpeopled paintings capture the tragedy of what was ultimately a war on culture and history. Whether one values these works most for their artistry, their lessons in history or their wake up call to aid one's fellow man it is indeed fortunate that Laura Buxton resolved to stay and paint.
Voices in the Shadows
"Women are conspicuously absent from traditional cultural histories of South-East Europe. This book addresses that imbalance by describing the contribution of women to literary culture in the Orthodox/Ottoman areas of Serbia and Bosnia."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Post-Conflict Monuments in Bosnia and Herzegovina
At a time of dramatic struggles over monuments around the world, this book examines monuments that have been erected in post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) since 1996. Examining the historical precedents for the high rate of monumentbuilding, and its links to ongoing political instability and national animosity, this book identifies the culture of remembrance in BiH as symptomatic of a broader shift: a monumentalisation and privatisation of history. It provides an argument for how to account for the politics of contemporary nation-state formation, control of space, trauma and revisions of history in a region that has been subject to prolonged instability and crisis. This book will be of interest to scholars in contemporary art, museum studies, war and conflict studies, and European studies.
