Biti nacijom: od “Turaka” do Bošnjaka: zagrebački Bošnjaci, nakon svega
The book "Being a Nation" (2019) by Alija Hodžić addresses the question of what it means to belong to a nation in contemporary society.
The author explores the concept of national identity, explaining how it is shaped through history, culture, language, religion and political circumstances. He emphasizes that a nation is not something “naturally given”, but a social and historical construction that is constantly changing. Hodžić also problematizes how nationalism can have both positive (sense of belonging) and negative consequences (exclusivity, conflicts). In conclusion, the book encourages the reader to critically reflect on their own identity and what it actually means to “be a nation” in today’s world.
