Majke koje ubijaju: čedomorstvo u Habsburškoj Bosni
Mothers who kill: infanticide in Habsburg Bosnia

Summary/Abstract: Various scientific disciplines have dealt with the social phenomenon of infanticide. This phenomenon has not attracted the attention of Bosnian historians until now, and therefore there is no historiographical study that exclusively and thoroughly deals with the mentioned issue. Using archival sources, the paper draws attention to the presence and frequency of infanticide in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, attempts to determine the methods used by the government to deal with this phenomenon, and tries to establish how it was perceived by society. The author tries to determine the causes of the occurrence of infanticide and draws attention to the methodological challenges in the process of researching this and similar topics.
