Anthropology And Conflict: Reflections On The Bosnian War Part 2, Joel Halpern Jul 1997

Anthropology And Conflict: Reflections On The Bosnian War Part 2, Joel Halpern

Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series

It clearly takes a certain period to reflect on a singular experience in one's life.

My mini series will consist of this initial section focusing on description and the second part will involve an attempt to put these comments in some analytical perspective. Since my Columbia dissertation dealt with this area I have thus been involved with researching this area over some five decades , from the …
