Croatia
In the field, Donja Subocka, Croatia March, 2005
The graffiti on the building - in English, no less! - says:
"CROATIA MY LOVE...SERBIAN CHETNIKS GO HOME"
("Chetnik" is a term that refers to Serb nationalists;
a unit of Canadian volunteers did go through this area
in 1995...if anyone has information on the writer, please contact me)
The major drawback to doing fieldwork
in Western Slavonia, Croatia
(even after over ten years, mine
contamination is a serious problem)
The other challenge: 10 years of road
deterioration in abandoned settlements
(this is a paved road; branches were scraping
both sides of the car at this point)
"As Geography without History seems a carcass without motion, so History without Geography wanders as a Vagrant without a home."
Captain John Smith"Geography and history are not only analogous, but complimentary and interdependent, bound together by the very nature of things. This relationship is implied by such common terms as space and time, area and era, places and events - pairs that are fundamentally inseparable."
Donald Meinig
"The day the monkey is destined to die,
all the trees get slippery."
