A pesar de la abundante literatura existente sobre las víctimas del nazismo, el drama de la deportación de los republicanos y antifascistas andaluces a los campos nazis sigue siendo un tema muy desconocido. Todavía es predominante la idea de que los campos de concentración fueron ideados para el exterminio del pueblo judío en exclusividad. Y genera contrariedad, estupor y sorpresa que en esos siniestros recintos hubiera personas vestidas con raídos trajes a rayas que hablaban con acento andaluz y soñaban con sus pueblos.

The fall of the United Nations “safe area” of Srebrenica in July 1995 to Bosnian Serb and Serbian forces stands out as the international community’s most egregious failure to intervene during the Bosnian war. It led to genocide, forced displacement, and a legacy of loss. But wartime inaction has since spurred numerous postwar attempts to address the atrocities’ effects on Bosnian society and its diaspora. Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide reveals how interactions between local, national, and international interventions – from refugee return and resettlement to commemorations, war crimes trials, immigration proceedings, and election reform – have led to subtle, positive effects of social repair, despite persistent attempts at denial. Using an interdisciplinary approach, diverse research methods, and more than a decade of fieldwork in five countries, Lara J. Nettelfield and Sarah E. Wagner trace the genocide’s reverberations in Bosnia and abroad. The findings of this study have implications for research on post-conflict societies around the world.
