Anthropologist Vasiliki P. Neofotistos provides an ethnographic account of the ways middle- and working-class Albanian and Macedonian noncombatants in Macedonia's capital city, Skopje, went about their daily lives during the conflict, when fear and uncertainty regarding their existence and the viability of the state were intense and widespread. Neofotistos finds that, rather than passively observing the international community's efforts to manage the political crisis, members of the Macedonian and Albanian communities responded with resilience and wit to disruptive and threatening changes in social structure, intensely negotiated relationships of power, and promoted indeterminacy on the level of the everyday as a sense of impending war enfolded the capital. More broadly, The Risk of War helps us better understand how postindependence Macedonia has managed to escape civil bloodshed despite high political volatility, acute ethno-nationalist rivalries, and unrelenting external pressures exerted by neighboring countries.Ethnography of political violence.Ethnic relationsPolitical aspectsSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / GeneralbisacshMacedonia (Republic)Ethnic relationsPolitical aspectsMacedonia (Republic)Social conditionsMacedonia (Republic)Politics and government1992-Anthropology.Folklore.Human Rights.Law.Linguistics.Political Science.Ethnic relationsSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / General.949.7603Neofotistos Vasiliki P1096614MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788378603321The risk of war3840660UNINA
