Sažetak
[Sead Turčalo, Hikmet Karčić (Eds.), Bosnian Genocide Denial and Triumphalism: Origins, Impact and Prevention, Faculty of Political Science University of Sarajevo, Srebrenica Memorial Center, and Institute for Islamic Tradition of Bosniaks, Sarajevo, 2021] For almost thirty years survivors of the war of extinction in Bosnia and Herzegovina struggle to understand, accept and live with human losses, violence, and destruction under policy umbrella of transitional justice.Their memories, trauma, experiences, identities, and faith have been continuously challenged by socially engineered post-Dayton democratic predicaments. Namely, managed by its governments for more than twenty years, this fragile democracy has necessitated a firm international supervision and control, thus dislocating emancipatory powers of Bosniaks’ civic rights to the margins of transitional justice activism and affirmative actions. This publication therefore is a testament to transitional justice’s inability to deliver justice and peace promised by its proponents to all victims of nationalist and violent Yugoslav disintegration. As is it evident from presented contributions, transitional justice process in Bosnia and Herzegovina produces resistance in the form of historical revisionism, genocide denial and triumphalism.
