The study takes the under-researched case of the Hajj to Mecca from the Balkans, hence focusing on Muslims from Bulgaria and Bosnia-Herzegovina (the latter under Austrian-Hungarian rule as from 1878). Both Bosnian and Bulgarian Muslim pilgrims experienced quarantine on their return from Mecca, yet in unequal measures. Bosnian hajjis were given a more lenient quarantine than their Bulgarian co-religionists by their separate sanitary authorities - with regard to the duration of isolation and the disinfection of their bodies and personal belongings. This was due to the different political and cultural attitudes towards their Muslim minorities by these two Balkan regimes.History / African American & BlackbisacshHistory / EuropebisacshHistory / ModernbisacshHistoryHistory / African American & BlackHistory / EuropeHistory / ModernHistory.Promitzer Christian1787720ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910765724703321Chapter 6 - Prevention and stigma4321331UNINA
