Document Summary
On self-determination and ethnic cleansing in yugoslavia article. Groups that coexisted previously were now pinned against each other. Talks a lot about laws and policies that cause this. Said from 40s-90s there was no powerful party in place. In 1995 violence started getting much worse. The former cause we understand the causes to this violence so hopefully we know how to stop it and the latter cause once it starts its hard. P 791 latin script is for catholic. Institutionalizing ethnicity as a kind of category. Problematic that they use the word muslim" interchangeably with ethnicities. French word for root" is racine which is where the word race comes from. Natal, nation has to do with birth. With long distance ethnography you"re stuck with words. Unless you"re there on the ground watching it you are subjected to words. Also the data is thin so its a lot of repetitiveness lled with dialogue.
