Introduction

Until the current war in former Yugoslavia began, very few Bosnians had entered the U.S. specifically as refugees from Bosnia. However, some had come as "Yugoslavs." Most of these Bosnians were Serbs and Croats, and they generally settled quickly into long-established immigrant communities founded by their co-ethnics. Thus, Bosnian Serbs tended to settle with other Serbs and Bosnian Croats with local Croatian communities. Bosnian Muslims have been so few in number in the U.S. that there has been no Bosnian Muslim community into which newcomers could integrate. Since the war began, Bosnian Muslim communities have begun to emerge in New York and California, while entire small communities of Ukrainians from Bosnia have relocated to Canada.
