Strangers Either Way : The Lives of Croatian Refugees in their New Home, Hardback Book

Strangers Either Way : The Lives of Croatian Refugees in their New Home Hardback

Part of the European Anthropology in Translation series

Hardback

Description

Croatia gained the world's attention during the break-up of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.

In this context its image has been overshadowed by visions of ethnic conflict and cleansing, war crimes, virulent nationalism, and occasionally even emergent regionalism.

Instead of the norm, this book offers a diverse insight into Croatia in the 1990s by dealing with one of the consequences of the war: the more or less forcible migration of Croats from Serbia and their settlement in Croatia, their "ethnic homeland." This important study shows that at a time in which Croatia was perceived as a homogenized nation-in-the-making, there were tensions and ruptures within Croatian society caused by newly arrived refugees and displaced persons from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Refugees who, in spite of their common ethnicity with the homeland population, were treated as foreigners; indeed, as unwanted aliens.
