Keith Doubt is Professor of Sociology at Wittenberg University, Ohio.
"Risk-taking and boundary-crossing bring benefits: in this case, an
intriguing reflection on sociological theory regarding individual
agency, secrecy, and the meaning of identity at different scales,
from the (gendered) ego through the long-distance diaspora. I was
especially engaged by Doubt's inference from the different depths
of descent reckoning that Bosnian Muslim society is in fact less
patriarchal in structure than either Serb Orthodox or Croat
Catholic. Doubt challenges those who see radical discontinuity,
chaos, or dislocation as the key tropes through which to make sense
of the last half-century of Bosnia's life. Through the Window
represents an important contribution to the task of reminding the
world that Bosnia-Herzegovina and its creative, resilient citizens
have more to contribute to social science than a case study in
collective violence."

"Through the Window is a valuable addition to scholarship on Balkan
studies. Doubt's monograph is significant and meaningful. In
collecting, recording, and analyzing the oral narratives Doubt has
done the important work of preserving and contextualizing them for
future generations. Interdisciplinary in nature, Doubt's study will
be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of Balkan
studies, cultural anthropology, East European literatures, ethnic
studies, folklore, political science, and sociology".
