In this excellent comparative study Valentina Otmačić explores the processes through which ordinary people create effective mechanisms for the prevention of inter-ethnic violence. This is an empirically rich, innovative, and analytically rigorous study that makes an important contribution to peace studies. Siniša Malešević, University College, Dublin and CNAM, Paris For many years, the analytical framework of choice for scholars of ex-Yugoslavia has been ethnic nationalism as seen through the prism of violence and trauma. Through sensitive ethnography and incisive analysis, this important book challenges and indeed, elevates our understanding of the local-level processes where destructive outcomes of conflict not only have but can be averted. Daphne Winland, York University Valentina Otmačić makes an important contribution to the literature of political violence by focusing on the ways that some communities, which she calls the oases of peace, resisted the divisions and the violence that ensued in other communities during the same time. Mila Dragojević, the University of the South
