Uncomfortable Evidence
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has sculpted the story of July 1995 in Srebrenica. In working to hold accountable the perpetrators of the crime of genocide, among other crimes against humanity, the ICTY’s prosecutors gathered an immense amount of evidence, presented cases in the courtroom, and obtained numerous convictions. These legal proceedings have engendered bitter, ongoing disputes among various actors i…
To Kill or Not to Kill? The Challenge of Restraining Violence in a Balkan Community
Explaining why restraint of violence becomes a strategy for armed groups has recently attracted the attention of researchers, especially political scientists. The emergent literature generally argues by way of macro-level statistical correlation, in which a single factor, such as the desire of armed groups to adhere to international norms about human rights or the existence of high levels of political education among fighters, is believed to expl…
Evidence, explanation, and telling histories of violence
In myriad forms, violence remains a crucial and, arguably, an increasingly dominant form of political practice by a host of actors in the contemporary world. It is thus not surprising that during the past two decades research on various aspects of violence has increased significantly. Historians have long been the central chroniclers of the violent past, but others, especially social scientists, have recently moved into the spotlight with a host …

Violence as a Generative Force
In Violence as a Generative Force , Max Bergholz tells the story of the sudden and perplexing descent of Kulen Vakuf—a small rural community straddling today's border between northwest Bosnia and Croatia whose multiethnic population had long lived in peace—into extreme intercommunal violence during 1941
Thinking the Nation
In "Thinking the Nation," Max Bergholz offers a reappraisal of Benedict Anderson's seminal 1983 book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. He does so through the telling of a set of interconnected stories. The first is the story of Anderson himself-who he was as a scholar and how the world in which he lived shaped his unique approach to nationalism. The second is the story of the reaction to his book in the im…
Rory Yeomans, The Utopia of terror
Research on the history of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) has increased significantly during the past decade. A trend in this work has been the movement away from writing solely top-down po

In this deeply researched and thought-provoking book, Theodora Dragostinova uses case of Greeks of Bulgaria during first half of twentieth century to shed new light on agency of ordinary people in shaping notions of national while negotiating their way…
Sudden Nationhood
The Strange Silence
Newly available documentation from the State Archive of Bosnia-Herzegovina indicates that the majority of sites where Muslim civilians were killed during the Second World War remained unmarked as late as the mid-1980s. The existing scholarship, most of which argues that Yugoslavia’s communist regime sought to “de-ethnicize” the remembrance of all of the interethnic violence of the war, has failed to notice and explain this apparent bias against M…
