abstract="While a central policy of the Independent State of Croatia during World War II called for the removal of &quot;Serbs,&quot; the majority of people who identified themselves (or were identified by the regime) as Serbs in Sarajevo--the second largest city in the state--remained &quot;safe.&quot; In order to understand why this was the case, Emily Greble Balić examines the interplay between local identity politics and state policies of genocide and nation-building. In so doing, she sheds light on such broad issues as the ambiguity of national identity at the local level; the limitations of traditional understandings of &quot;resistance&quot;; and the options open to members of the victim, or &quot;foreign&quot; group, as a result of the disjunction between national and local agendas.<p />",
