Re-making Kozarac: Agency, Reconciliation and Contested Return in Post-War Bosnia, by Sebina Sivac-Bryant, tells the story of return and recovery in ethnically-cleansed Kozarac, Bosnia.
Kozarac is a predominantly Muslim-populated town in Prijedor municipality in the Krajina region of northwestern Bosnia-Herzegovina. The widespread ethnic cleansing carried out by Serb nationalist forces during the 1992-1995 war expelled the Muslims, Croats, and others from that municipality. Prijedor also became notorious as the wartime location of several concentration camps where atrocious crimes were committed. By the end of the war, the entire non-Serb population was driven out; more than 3,000 were killed, and thousands endured torture and deprivation in the camps.
