For Bosnian Americans
Name the Identity Tensions Shaping Your Hyphenated Life
The war shaped the identity. This is where you name who you are beyond the war.
For the Bosnian American person working through what it means to carry Bosnian identity — the genocide, the war, the displacement, the rebuilding — and what it means to be from a country whose existence was contested while you were living it
The Name It First Experience
Bosnian American identity carries one of the most acute recent traumas in European history — the Bosnian War, the Srebrenica genocide, displacement, and the remarkable rebuilding of a multi-ethnic society. You carry that history — directly or through family — into America. You also carry the specific culture of Bosnia: its coffee, its music, its warmth, its specific way of being. This workbook is about naming all of it. You leave with The Bosnian American Identity Charter — a named account of who you are beyond the war.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you carry from the war — directly or through your family — and how does it live in you today?
- What from Bosnian culture are you most deliberate about keeping alive — in language, in practice, in memory?
- What would your Bosnian American identity charter say — not defined by the war, but by you?
- What does the rebuilding — of Bosnia, of your family, of your own life — mean as a story you carry?
