On the other hand, this will make it more likely that you all will be able to provide some helpful criticism and commentary.<br /><br />For now, just on Yugoslavia, although I think it's natural that eventually I will expand into issues of genocide, nationalism, state-building, and so forth.Kirk Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879908614214050994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-38079370966834152692010-08-09T00:38:41.344-04:002010-08-09T00:38:41.344-04:00Another question, will the books be related to the...Another question, will the books be related to the former Yugoslavia, or will they cover a wider range of subject matters?<br /><br />Whatever you do, I'm looking forward to it. for myself, I find writing book reviews much more challenging than I would have originally thought.shainahttp://bloggingbalkanistan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-22131867980818196772010-08-08T23:14:04.576-04:002010-08-08T23:14:04.576-04:00Dan,a portion of Oric's book is already availa...Dan,a portion of Oric's book is already available online, translated in english.

The event will result in a feature documentary and online video archive that will showcase the diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that can occur in one day on earth. Our immediate goal is to expand interest in the project; the more people we have involved, the more accurate and comprehensive a record of the planet we can create.<br /> <br />We hope you will support our efforts by highlighting our event on Americans for Bosnia. Please consider promoting our call to action on Americans for Bosnia: Help Document the World’s Story on 10.10.10. <br /> <br />You can learn more about One Day On Earth on our website: www.onedayonearth.org<br /><br />Thank you.koeppelicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096724579723163654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-79959440181255698812010-07-31T16:40:49.342-04:002010-07-31T16:40:49.342-04:00Kirk, there's a new article on Bosfam at Wikip...Kirk, there's a new article on Bosfam at Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosfam<br /><br />Owen<br />(Blogger/ClaimID acting up again)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-6233338537670981152010-07-30T18:18:58.817-04:002010-07-30T18:18:58.817-04:001st of all, enjoy your vacation.

Please keep us updated about how all of that is going. <br /><br />3rd: I absolutely love the idea of focusing on book reviews.

So far, it is the best book written on the subject of pre-genocide Srebrenica. Unfortunately, it is not available in English. Hope that will change. I have a scanned image version of the book, which means it's searchable over the internet (because it's a scanned image, not text), so I am trying to find a way to convert scanned image to text, so I can publish this online. Please keep up the blog and study the Balkan history. It's one of the most interesting topics to read, but you need to study it carefully. Tripple check everything Serbs said or wrote. They have been lying throughout their history and I may seem harsh to generalize, but unfortunately it's true. It's a mentality of deceit and distortions that is widespread among the Serbian 'academic' and 'intellectual' circles.Srebrenica Genocidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537958649391909339noreply@blogger.com
