Summary
This chapter examines socioeconomic violence and injustice in war, providing compelling evidence of its relevance for post-conflict societies, from the perspective of people in Prijedor and Zenica who lived through the Bosnian War. The chapter provides a short background on the two cities, before analysing how people in Prijedor and Zenica experienced socioeconomic violence against the background of the war, which in Prijedor entailed an organised campaign of ethnic cleansing. It highlights the pervasiveness of dismissals, social exclusion and deprivation and the powerful impact it has on people's lives.
