Abstract:
How did Bosnia, once a polity of intersecting and overlapping identities, come to be understood as an intractable ethnic problem? National Deconstruction is a rethinking of the meaning of "ethnic/nationalist" violence and a critique of the impoverished discourse of identity politics that crippled the international response to the Bosnian crisis.
