Drawing on several years of ethnographic fieldwork, it offers a vivid account of how personal a nd collective memories are utterly intertwined, and how memories across the generations are reimagined and 'rewritten' following great socio-p olitical change. Focusing on both Bosniak-dominated East Mostar and Cro at-dominated West Mostar, it demonstrates that, even in this ethno-nati onally divided city with its two divergent national historiographies, g eneration-specific experiences are crucial in how people ascribe meanin g to past events. It argues that the dramatic and often brutal transfor mations that Bosnia and Herzegovina has witnessed have led to alteratio ns in memory politics, not to mention disparities in the life situation s faced by the different generations in present-day post-war Mostar. Th is in turn has created variations in memories along generational lines, which affect how individuals narrate and position themselves in relati on to the country's history. This detailed and engaging work will appea l to students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, political scienc e, history and oral history, particularly those with an interest in mem ory, post-socialist Europe and conflict studies.
