"This is one of the most powerful accounts - the most powerful account by a survivor - of the impact of forced displacement in the wake of the Bosnian conflict - The book is a survivor's account and at the same time a scholarly critique of what happened. It is an exemplar of engaged and informed writing: moving and informative, evocative and profound. It is a deeply serious book, but with the light touch of an accomplished writer." * Ron Adams, Victoria University "This manuscript addressed the complexity of lives of the Bosnian diaspora and issues of the trans-local identities like no other book before. The fact that the author has himself experienced the war and the refugee experience, as well as demonstrated the awareness of the process of forging his own new-old identity, contributes greatly to the quality of this manuscript." * Edina Becirevic, University of Sarajevo "This is a first-class text, covering a hitherto neglected topic. It is original and of a very high intellectual standard. It is crisply written, well structured, based on extensive primary research and guided by a solid theoretical understanding - there are very few English-language books in this field that really impress me, but this is one of them." * Marko Hoare, Kingston University, UK
