Beyond
stereotypes: Violence and the porousness of ethnic boundaries in the
Republic of Macedonia
The processes that are described in this article shed light on how so-called
"inter-ethnic tensions" can be negotiated in daily life and
how local society, at first sight fraught with negative ethnic stereotypes,
can prove resilient towards ethnic violence. It is published in History
and Anthropology, Volume 15, Number 1, March 2004, pp. 1-36(36).
