Abstract
The chapter provides a final comprehensive overview summarizing the major points touched on throughout the book. It summarizes the attitudes which surfaced among the two older and two younger generations, clarifying roots and reasons for the inter-generational dis-similarities and dis-continuities emerging in the two case studies, finally providing a family-level comparison. The analysis shows how the apparently very similar socio-political situations of Macedonia and Bosnia Herzegovina are instead the outcome of different political, inter-group, and state–masses dynamics; as well as how and why are different meanings and functions attributed to ethnonational belonging by the Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav generations surveyed in Bosnia Herzegovina and Macedonia.
