AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article traces the political, social, economic, and cultural foundations of the Bosnian Muslims from the Ottoman period of 1463 to the 1960s. The authors believe that the emergence of the Bosnian Muslims as an important group in Bosnia-Herzegovina can only be understood in terms of their historical experiences. With this in mind they describe briefly each of the five different administrative systems since 1463, starting with the Ottoman period (1463-1878), then the Austro-Hungarian period (1878-1918), the independent inter-war Yugoslavian period (1918-1941), the wartime fascist USTASI state (1941-1945), and post-war socialist Yugoslavia (1945-1960s). The transition from each successive administration to the next '…has generated a restructuring of Bosnian society and caused major changes in the context and meaning of ethnicity for each major group [i.e., Bosnian Muslims, as well as Christian Serbs and Croats]' (p. 188).
