The book explores the impact of globalization and conflict on the villagers of Kosovo, highlighting their interconnectedness despite living across borders. It examines how long-distance family ties, particularly through cross-border marriages, reshape care dynamics, gender roles, and generational relationships among Kosovar kin residing in various European countries. Through this lens, it sheds light on the social transformations and challenges faced by these communities in an increasingly unstable world.

The book analyses inter-group relations in a war-torn region of postsocialist Croatia which previously had a large Serbian population. The focus is on the legitimising discourses, structures and agencies which regulate access to houses and land. It explores the role of ethnicity and locality in everyday life and in politics and shows that the views of Knin Croats often diverge from those of recent Croatian immigrants. The study contributes to theories of conflict and reconciliation as well as to the anthropology of postsocialism and legal anthropology.
