Ten years on from Kosovo?s declaration of independence from Serbia, the north?s predominantly Serb population continues to resist integration. Education, health, and other vital services continue to be provided by Serbia. These latent tensions regularly surface through various forms of resistance, including protests and barricades (most notably those of 2011); resistance which has many historical precedents. Ian Bancroft provides an original ethnographic account of the reality in north Kosovo, mixing first-hand interviews and anecdotes with historical background and academic insight. He explores a diverse array of themes, including the Trep?a mines, religious and cultural life, and the Main Bridge over the river Ibar, which has become a symbol of the divided town of Mitrovica. Bancroft examines memories of the war and 2004 riots, and the daily realities of local governance and politics in a post-war environment. The book also goes to the heart of the border/boundary regions, the multi-ethnic Bo?nja?ka Mahala, and mixed areas on the periphery to tell the stories of those caught-up on the front-lines of conflict. As such, it offers valuable insights for aspiring peacebuilders into the challenges of working in a context of considerable complexity. 410 0$aBalkan politics and society ;$v3. 606 $aSerbs$zKosovo (Republic) 607 $aKosovo (Republic)$xPolitics and government 607 $aKosovo (Republic)$xEthnic relations 615 0$aSerbs 676 $a949.71 700 $aBancroft$b Ian$4aut$01679984 702 $aDzankic$b Jelena$4edt 702 $aKeil$b Soeren$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963218803321 996 $aDragon's teeth$94048628 997 $aUNINA
