Azra Hromadžić, associate professor of anthropology, has authored a new book, “Riverine Citizenship” (CEU Press, 2024). In it, she explores how the threat of dam construction transformed the seemingly apolitical love of the Una River into a powerful political force around which thousands of people mobilized: riverine citizenship.
The Croatian weekly publication Novosti featured Hromadžić's book in a recent article. Following is an abstract:
“The 2015 protest against the construction of a mini hydropower plant on the Una River in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina was the moment when the Una become a key political word. More specifically, it is the moment when people realized that it is the belonging to and responsibility before the river—not the rights, duties, and obligations to an ethnic group, city, or state—that keeps many people in their dwelling place,” says Hromadžić.
