Abstract
This work deals primarily with the village of Dolina, Bringa's pseudonym for a mixed Muslim-Catholic community in central Bosnia which she studied in 1987-1988. This study presents '…a fascinating and persuasive account of how Muslim religion and ethnic identity was sustained and experienced in Bosnia prior to the collapse of the Yugoslav state and how the politics of gender and household inextricably shaped and constrained wider political and ethnoreligious identities' (p. xi). In the text Bringa discusses how family, marriage, and kinship networks emerge as the repository of social values in Bosnian Muslim society, and in the process how they mold wider political and social identities.
