This book analyses issues of language and Jewish identity among the Sephardim in Sarajevo. The
author examines how Sephardim belonging to three different generations in Sarajevo deal with
the challenge of cultivating hybrid and hyphenated identities under destabilizing conditions
exploring how a group of interviewees define and describe the language they speak since
Yugoslavia's collapse. Their self-identification through language is then placed within the
context of other cases of linguistic and ethnic identity formation in European minority groups.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars working in several related fields and
disciplines including Slavic studies Historical Anthropology Jewish History and Holocaust
studies Sociolinguistics and Memory studies.
