Download or read book New Metonyms written by Ennis Cehic and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries are reduced to their metonyms. France is Paris, the Eiffel Tower, cheese and the Louvre. The UK is Big Ben, red phone boxes, even Sherlock Holmes. The Statue of Liberty, Washington Hill and McDonalds is the USA. Brazil, the statue of Christo Redentor or the Copacabana.What is Bosnia & Herzegovina??? New Metonyms is a book that searches for an answer to this question through photography and writing. While Bosnia & Herzegovina is gaining a reputation as an unexplored gem of Europe, it's still tied to mental associations of war. 25 years after the Bosnian War ended in 1995, echoes of the disastrous conflict still haunt the country's land- especially its international image. Created by Bosnian-Australian writer, Ennis Cehic and international photographer, Shantanu Starick the book aims to create a poetic survey of Bosnia & Herzegovina by showing contemporary landmarks, monuments, emblems and cultural signifiers that have no association to its wars.It features a comprehensive essay, poetry and short stories that work beautifully together with photography of new metonyms.

Book excerpt: The first Bosnians settled in Chicagoland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, joining other immigrants seeking better opportunities and better lives. As the former Yugoslavia continued to find its identity as a nation over the last century, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina sought stability and new beginnings in the city of Chicago--many intending to return to their homeland. Today as many as 70,000 Bosnians and their descendants live in the Chicago area, representing different faiths, backgrounds, and motivations for making America their new home.
