Excellent- More about Geopolitics of Memory - A Journey to Bosnia
James Riding's book "Bosnia: A Journey to the Heart of a War-Torn Country" is a daring experiment in ethnographic place-writing that juxtaposes the past and present of Bosnia through a series of journeys and the retelling of memories. It is a journey to Bosnia as it is understood today in popular discourse, a war-torn place defined by ethnic conflict, but also a journey to deconstruct and reveal more than ancient ethnic hatreds portrayed on television screens.

In this daring experiment in ethnographic place-writing, cultural geographer James Riding aims to delve into the very essence of post-conflict Bosnia, unveiling the intricate interplay between the past and the present it has shaped. Through a series of captivating journeys and the retelling of personal memories, Riding seeks to unravel the complex tapestry of this war-ravaged nation. The juxtaposition of the siege of Sarajevo, the haunting echoes of supersonic metal, the arduous refugee journey, and the aid worker traversing in the opposite direction, coupled with the desperation and frustration of attempting to alter the present while grappling with the remnants of ethno-nationalist politics and ideologies from the past, paints a vivid portrait of Bosnia as it is understood in the contemporary discourse. This journey is not merely a visit to a war-torn land defined by ethnic conflict; it is also an exploration to dismantle and expose the deeper, more profound layers of ancient ethnic hatreds that have been perpetuated on television screens worldwide from 1992 to 1995. Laden with the weight of history on one hand and brimming with the promise of radical emancipatory politics on the other, it is only through innovative storytelling that one can truly convey the essence of what Bosnia is like, both to those who have never ventured there and to those who call it home.
