SREBRENICA IN THE AFTERMATH OF GENOCIDE
The fall of the United Nations “safe area” of Srebrenica in July 1995 toBosnian Serb and Serbian forces stands out as the international community’smost egregious failure to intervene during the Bosnian war. It led to genocide,forced displacement, and a legacy of loss. But wartime inaction spurrednumerous postwar attempts to address the effects of the atrocities on Bosniansociety and its diaspora. Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide revealshow interactions among local, national, and international interventions –from refugee return and resettlement to commemorations, war crimes trials,immigration proceedings, and election reform – have led to positive, if subtle,effects of social repair, even in the face of persistent attempts at denial ofthe genocide. Using an interdisciplinary approach, diverse research methods,and more than a decade of fieldwork in five countries, Lara J. Nettelfield andSarah E. Wagner trace the crimes’ reverberations in Bosnia and abroad. Thefindings of this study have implications for research on post-conflict societiesaround the world.
