Bosnia-Herzegovina Protest Files is an initiative by an open network of activists and academics collecting and translating texts being produced by BiH citizens during the ‘Bosnian Spring.’ We are motivated and inspired by the initiative and creativity of those protesting on the streets in Bosnia and nascent attempts at practicing direct democracy. We believe that the words of ordinary people at moments of revolutionary change and upheaval are important and should be part of the conversation. They are also a refreshing antidote the nationalist fear-mongering, political spin and ‘expert opinion’ about current events in the region. The contents of this website should not be considered an exhaustive account of the literature being produced in BiH but merely what our network of volunteers has so far been made aware of and been able to translate.
These are our new archives. 😉 Brilliant work on filing this in one place.
Great! Well done! Thanks!
How can I get involved as a translator?
Paula, just send a note to any one of us to our Twitter @bhprotestfiles. We are all doing this volunteer, though.
Understood.
I analized the curent situation in Bosnia and Hercegovina on my blog, first text is about reasons for protests and second is about how is elite trying to find the way out. Texts are in yugoslav language but if you think they are worth translating feel free to do it.

The following is a link to “bosnians against bosses, yugoslavs against yugoslavery”, a translation of a text written by someone with family connections to Bosnia but who lives in France; he visited Bosnia recently and this text, originally written in French, is a reflective analysis of what happened in Bosnia last month: http://dialectical-delinquents.com/?page_id=5288
