Description:
When is it disadvantageous for members of a local elite to participate in a state-sponsored genocide? How do states react when towns or regions disregard national orders to ethnically cleanse certain segments of the population? How can victim groups take advantage of the disjunction between national and local agendas in order to survive? This seminar explores these questions by examining the interplay between local identity politics and state policies of genocide and nation-building in Bosnia during the Second World War.
Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
