| Abstract: | Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), much like other eastern-European countries, has faced a brief period of transition from the
socialist system to capitalism. However, this was interrupted in BiH by a brutal war lasting four years. Social systems and
infrastructure were damaged or destroyed, including education, which was harnessed during the war to divide the country and
then perpetuate these divisions. The author deals with some of the strongest and most enduring impacts that the war has had
on education, which even now, more than 10 years after the war, pose a serious threat to this young country. The most obvious
include the division of youth according to nationality, religion or language, the unequal positions of certain groups in education,
and very clear segregation and discrimination. She points out some of the most frequent and overt ways in which intolerance
towards other nationalities is displayed through textbooks, especially those used in parts of BiH subject to a struggle for
independence during the war. |
