This article explores the importance of historical sociocultural changes in the children's ethnic and national socialization processes, using the example of Croatian (and some Bosnian) children in the 1990s whose development has been deranged by a war in which ethnic belonging has played a major role. In their life history essays, denotation of `the Enemy' ranges from the imposition of taboos and the compensational personification of war as `hostile history' to the direct naming of the actual human enemy by using the shared ethnic markers that point to the politicized collective identities.
