Kozarac.ba: Online Community as a Network Bridge
Chapter
First Online:
Abstract
As we have seen, the online community of Kozarac.ba hosted some lively and heated discussions around the Omarska memorial debate, but its wider role in bridging between local returnees and the diaspora is worth further attention. With significant structural holes in the social network of the town, resulting from the deliberate policy of ‘eliticide’ in 1992 that saw leading figures and potential leaders eliminated, the online networks that connected Kozarac people around the world played an important role in overcoming the gaps, but sites such as Kozarac.ba also provided a safe space for survivors to tell their stories, find each other and remember the dead.
