Summary:The Bosnian Muslims file consists of nine works. Five by William G. Lockwood provide a broad range of ethnographic topics plus a focus on social organization. Lockwood's studies center around the village of Planinica in the Skoplje Polje region of Bosnia and Herzegovina and provide information on the market economy, social organization, forms of marriage among rural Muslims, social change, culture history, and the function and role of songs in terms of their relationship to social structure. Donia traces the political, social, economic and cultural foundations of the Bosnian Muslims from the beginning of the Ottoman period (1463) to the 1960s.
