Whiteness and nationalism underlie configurations of race globally, yet “race” is often recognized and performed as hierarchies of ethnicity in nations where skin color is not optically differentiated. This paper examines this phenomenon in the former Yugoslavia in order both to contextualize these shifting dynamics of power as well as to theorize how postsocialism and postcolonialism might figure into the construction of ethnicity as the primary marker of difference. Our central concern is how these constructions and performances of ethnicity, in turn, impact the ways we might study interracial communication nationally and globally. In other words, we analyze the racialization of identity in a space without bodies of color in order to ask what is or can be interracial? How might such analysis posit possibilities for interrupting power in transnational and global contexts? Drawing on the Bosnian genocide and experiences from living in the former Yugoslavia, we point to a few contexts to ground the discussion. We draw parallels between the former Yugoslavia and the US to analyze how interracial communication travels, often violently, across borders. We argue that critical analysis of the manifestation of race on bodies is integral to resisting the precarious effects of global capitalism
