Social Aspects of Memory: Stories of Victims and Perpetrators from Bosnia-Herzegovina
Autor Alma Jefticen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 ian 2023
Drawing on the author’s own extensive empirical research, the book explores the connections between memories for significant war events, transgenerational transmission of memories, bias for in-group wrongdoings and readiness for reconciliation between two groups.
Giving a voice to underrepresented narratives and prioritising the importance of expression as a necessary catalyst for reconciliation, this book is essential reading for those interested in collective and transgenerational memory and memory studies, especially in relation to the aftermath of the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Recenzii
"This is an excellent study of social memory as articulated by the war narratives in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Alma Jeftić’s book is based on the primary research among ordinary individuals across the line of ethnic divide. By successfully combining quantitative and qualitative methods with the theoretical insights this empirically rich and comprehensive study makes an important contribution to the literature on psychology and sociology of memory and representation." - Siniša Malešević, Professor of Sociology, University College, Dublin, Ireland
"Situated at the intersections of psychology, memory studies and peace and conflict research, this book demonstrates the crucial importance of examining the psychological dimensions of peacebuilding. Alma Jeftic's investigation into remembrance of the siege of Sarajevo brings important insights into the role of individual and social memory for fraught processes of postwar coexistence." - Johanna Mannergren Selimovic, The Swedish Institute of International Affairs, Sweden
"In this compelling study of long-term psychological effects of mass violence in Bosnia, Alma Jeftić shows how traumatic events are being remembered by different groups and individuals, and how memories are being passed on to new generations with no first-hand experience of the events. This book is a crucial contribution to our understanding of collective memory, shared trauma and possibilities for reconciliation in societies torn apart by war." - Tea Sindbæk Andersen, Associate Professor, Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
