Ana Croegaert’s Bosnian Refugees in Chicago: Gender, Performance,
and Post-War Economies provides a rich, multi-faceted portrait of
Bosnian refugee life in early 21st century Chicago. It documents
individuals’ struggles to come to terms with the injuries of war,
ethnic violence, and displacement in the former Yugoslavia,
focusing in particular on women’s efforts to create domesticity and
social connection. Drawing on intimate observations and interviews
in homes, coffee shops and public spaces, as well as analysis of
social media, public events, and artistic expression, Bosnian
Refugees in Chicago provides a deeply moving and politically astute
account of the “refugee” experience in an era of austerity politics
and heightened racial tension in the United States.
