Movement as Conflict Transformation

This book presents narratives of the social use of space in the divided city of Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Through the narratives of movement in the city, the work demonstrates how residents engage informally with conflict transformation through new movement and use of spaces. This book will appeal across the social sciences, and in particular to students, academics, and researchers in the fields of peace and conflict studies, political sociology, and human geography.

Bridges the fields of human geography and peacebuilding through a spatially based analysis of conflict transformation Presents a case study of participatory research and identifies the importance of participatory approaches to research in post-conflict studies Provides an exclusive focus on the city of Mostar and the narrative of residents of the city, how they move through and use the city space
