Abstract
The article describes the literature of the Bosnian diaspora in the Czech Republic, more specifically in Prague, and then discusses the case of Adin Ljuca, the main representative of the community, whose poetic beginnings and development were influenced by his settlement in Prague. The poet and prose writer’s works are examined in terms of diaspora culture, autobiography, and above all migration writing. The article makes a careful study of the articulations of dislocation that define migration texts, distinguishing four types: texts that narrate flight, exile, travel, and return. Finally, it focuses on the cases where the refugee or migration experience becomes a part of narrative identity through the interplay of stories inherited through transgenerational memory. By elaborating on the latter, the author makes his own war and refugee experience narratable through the antecedents of Bosniak muhadžir narratives.
