Abstract

This article argues the need to critically reflect on the fragmentations along ethno-national lines in the field of migration studies in and about the countries of former Yugoslavia. Using the author’s research with conflict migrants from Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina in Norway as the primary case study, this article points to methodological nationalism and groupism as closely connected challenges to be addressed. Examples from the case study are used as reference points, with the belief that similar concerns can be applied and addressed in other case studies, having in mind specificities of each case study that deals with migrant “groups” in other receiving societies.
