I Remember: Writings by Bosnian Women Refugees

by Fran Peavey (Introduction), Radmila Manojlović Zarkovic (Editor)

Literary Nonfiction. Southeastern European Studies. Memoir. Originally published by Women in Black in Belgrade, I REMEMBER is a collection of short memoirs in prose and poetry written by Bosnian women refugees and accompanied by their drawings. The book is a testament to the strength of these thirty-two women of all religions, ages and ethnic backgrounds, and to their commitment to a multi-ethnic society. As in the original, each of the writings appears handwritten, as well as in Serbo-Croation, Spanish, Italian, and English. Aunt Lute has tried to replicate, as much as the means of mass production allows, the look and feel of the original handmade book (of which only 50 were made because of wartime disruptions).
