Catalog description

This course interrogates the complex factors that contribute to the downfall of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the ensuing war in Bosnia & Herzegovina in 1992-1995, analyzing the causes, consequences and aftermath of the war. Using a combination of cross-disciplinary theoretical readings, a survey of import (ex) Yugoslav-specific scholarship, and a focus on survivor testimonies, media reports, and post-conflict memorials, students will come to understand with great nuance the roles played by the three warring factions as well as the international community in the build-up, unfolding and aftermath of this complex conflict.
