4.0 out of 5 stars Extract from Books on Bosnia, London 1999, 13 Mar 2000
By A Customer
The great value of this book lies in the refugee voices themselves, which take up two thirds of it. Drawn carefully from all national groups, and arranged in five sections - on the circumstances of leaving, on dreams of home, on everyday refugee life, on the child's view, and on starting life anew (i.e. giving up on ever going home) - the refugees evoke unforgettably, whether in unadorned prose or sometimes in moving poetry, the inhumanities visited upon ordinary people from all walks of life during the wars in Bosnia and Croatia. The editorial material that makes up the remaining third of the book - introductions, notes on the refugee contributors, afterwords - is for the most part sober and non-patronizing, although in places it suffers from a naive apoliticism that blurs the real contours of the war and its architects
