Abstract

The paper gives an overview of the family life cycle in the Brčko District rural area in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the second half of the twentieth century. In the early 1960s, this area was heavily involved in the process of migration to more industrially-developed Western countries. Three large migration waves took place during this period. Based on intensive ethnographic research in the area, this paper emphasizes the role of migration processes in family transformation and the changes it brought to family forms and structures. The paper also stresses the fact that the family remained an important identity ‘marker’ for people both within and outside their communities.
