Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the relationship between literature and identity in BiH. The author examines the status of "Bosnian-Herzegovinan literature". Agić asks whether it is merely as an assemblage of three independent literary traditions (Bosniak, Croat and Serb), or - the model which he implicitly favours - whether there is a superstructure which both unifies the three Bosnian sub-traditions and sets literature written by Croats and Serbs apart from literature written in Croatia and Serbia proper.
