Press Blurb: Bosnian Refugees in Chicago: Gender, Performance, and Post-War
Economies studies refugee migration through the experiences of survivors of
the 1990s wars in former Yugoslavia as they rebuild home, family, and
social lives in the wake of their displacement. Ana Croegaert explores
post-1970s Yugoslav-era socialism, American neoliberal capitalism, and
anti-Muslim geopolitics to examine women’s varied perspectives on their
postwar lives in the United States. Based on more than a decade of
fieldwork, Croegaert takes readers into staged performances, coffee
rituals, protests, memorials, homes, and non-governmental organizations to
shine a light on the pressures women contend with in their efforts to make
a living and to narrate their wartime injuries. Ultimately, Croegaert
argues that refugee women insist on understanding their wartime losses as
simultaneously social and material, a form of personhood she labels
“injured life.” At a time of mass displacement and heated political debates
concerning refugees, Croegaert provides an engaging portrait of a lively
and diverse group of women whose opinions on citizenship and belonging are
needed now more than ever.
