Salafi Groups in Social Welfare Functions: "Living on the Line" - Urban Social Integration of Pious Muslim Actors in Sarajevo Novi Grad

This book describes the contemporary urban society of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a triple post: Post-socialism, post-war and post-9/11. Using the approach of playground ethnography, the author applied a bottom-up approach to find out the social significance of Salafist actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the end of the war, with a special focus on Sarajevo Novi Grad.
