DOWNLOAD EBOOK"More than thirty years ago Steve Horn travelled through Bosnia in a VW van that served as both home and darkroom. He found himself deeply drawn to the country, its people, landscape, and culture." "In 2003 he returned to find a country still recovering from the tragedies of nearly four years of war. With him he took some of his 1970s photographs. He returned to the villages and towns of his previous trip to search for places from the past and to find some of the people he had met thirty years earlier."--BOOK JACKET.

Renowned Bosnian photojournalist Ziyah Gafic has dedicated himself to cataloguing the thousands of items left behind by the murdered victims of war.

Each item is presented with the hope that someone might recognise the remnants of their disappeared loved ones.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first Bosnians settled in Chicagoland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, joining other immigrants seeking better opportunities and better lives. As the former Yugoslavia continued to find its identity as a nation over the last century, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina sought stability and new beginnings in the city of Chicago--many intending to return to their homeland. Today as many as 70,000 Bosnians and their descendants live in the Chicago area, representing different faiths, backgrounds, and motivations for making America their new home. Bosnian Americans of Chicagoland examines the journey of this group, its legacy, and its traditions and customs that have lasted since the first immigrants arrived a century ago.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCountries are reduced to their metonyms. France is Paris, the Eiffel Tower, cheese and the Louvre. The UK is Big Ben, red phone boxes, even Sherlock Holmes. The Statue of Liberty, Washington Hill and McDonalds is the USA. Brazil, the statue of Christo Redentor or the Copacabana.What is Bosnia & Herzegovina??? New Metonyms is a book that searches for an answer to this question through photography and writing. While Bosnia & Herzegovina is gaining a reputation as an unexplored gem of Europe, it's still tied to mental associations of war. 25 years after the Bosnian War ended in 1995, echoes of the disastrous conflict still haunt the country's land- especially its international image. Created by Bosnian-Australian writer, Ennis Cehic and international photographer, Shantanu Starick the book aims to create a poetic survey of Bosnia & Herzegovina by showing contemporary landmarks, monuments, emblems and cultural signifiers that have no association to its wars.It features a comprehensive essay, poetry and short stories that work beautifully together with photography of new metonyms.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Chuck Sudetic provides an essay giving Haviv's photographs a historical, political, and cultural context. Sudetic sheds light on the forces behind the tragic cycles of war that have engulfed the Balkans over the past century. David Rieff offers an acute and impassioned defense of the document and the importance of witness. Bernard Kouchner, present-day governor of Kosovo, writes with vigorous morality and passion about the importance and implication of the past on the future of the former Yugoslavia. The images in Blood and Honey are further augmented by a chronology of the conflict and quotations from victims, perpetrators, political figures, and international observers that provide alternative and opposing voices about the war."--BOOK JACKET.
