This book is a study of a people and a place and various performances in a post-conflict milieu that was once known as the state of Yugoslavia. A war between three militaries between 1991-95 was ended with the Dayton Peace Accords (DPA) and whilst the fighting stopped, the grievances remained. The Skripari consider themselves the vanguard of a football inspired ethno-political nationalism that has at times centuries old antecedents. Who in this post-conflict political milieu might compromise- and how and with whom- and in the face of what reasoning? Such postulations seek further answers around what were - or might be - the structures, contexts, and issues who frustrate or might facilitate the pursuit of a post-conflict civil society.
