ABSTRACT
A great deal of anthropological, historical, and social science research has been conducted on Bosnian neighbourhood before and during the war (1992–1995). The interpretation perspectives vary a lot, and in some cases, they contradict one another, especially when it comes to understanding the role of ethnicity and religious identity. This chapter discusses some of the analytical constructions that have dominated academic and political discourses and pays particular attention to the ambiguity of neighbourhood during the war, and the scope of the characteristic interpretive perspectives.
