Synopsis

• A unique cooperation of photography and history: The book combines artistic documentary photography of a post-conflict and post-socialist city in Kosovo with solid micro-historical account of socialist urbanisation and industrialisation
• A fascinating insight into overlapping socialist, post-socialist, post-conflict and post-industrial transformations in the urban landscape

Mitrovica is a divided city. The bridge separating the Serb north and the Albanian south is one of the emblematic sites in the on-going ethno-political dispute over Kosovo. Beneath the layer of ethno-political division and post-conflict reconstruction, however, lies the fascinating built heritage of rapid industrial and urban development under socialist Yugoslav ideological premises. This book is a unique cooperative endeavour at the intersection of photography and history to document the overlaps in the socialist and post-conflict transformations of the city of Mitrovica. It forcibly shows that the material remnants of the socialist transformation of the city are more than passive leftovers of a lost age. They continue to give meaning to post-socialist, post-industrial and post-conflict, socio-spatial configurations in the city.
