Ernesto U. Savona, Universita Cattolica, Italy 'Anyone interested in the role of nationalism and religion in the Balkans and the Middle East will find... [this book]...very important reading...the situation on the ground in Bosnia-Herzegovina is discussed in a series of impressive anthropological studies for which the editors provide a long and impressive introduction.
