During a period of intense political and ethnic turmoil in the SFR Yugoslavia and Eastern Europe in the early 1990s, the Institute for Ethnic Studies conceived and began publishing the collection Ethnicity \/ <\/span>Ethnicity<\/span>. <\/span>The collection was intended to accompany key historical and current events in the fields of ethnic relations, ethnic and minority studies in the region, Europe, and globally, and to offer scientific answers to certain pressing questions in the immediate area and time from all areas of research interest and activity of the researchers at this multidisciplinary institute. <\/span> The series was conceived as a <\/span>thematic <\/span>collection of disciplinary<\/span> and multidisciplinary<\/span>monographs dealing with various aspects of minority and ethnic issues<\/span>, the regulation and management of diversity<\/span>, and <\/span>various <\/span>nationalisms in Slovenia and elsewhere. <\/span> He continues to pursue this goal today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Participation of Parents, Schools and the Social Surrounding in the Implementation of the Concept of Bilingual Education: Case Study.<\/b><\/p>\n

Since the subject of our case study is bilingual education at the elementary school in Lendava (Slovenia, Yugoslavia), we feel it is necessary to at least briefly present the historical and social background of the ethnically mixed (Slovene-Hungarian) area where a new, politically progressive but pedagogically very ambitious concept was introduced in 1959 \u2013 bilingual education.<\/p>\n

\nType: <\/b>scientific monograph<\/i>
\nLanguage: <\/b>Slovenian<\/i>
\nCOBISS.SI-ID: <\/b>104485376<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The author has set herself a very ambitious task. With a keen eye on the past and a highly analytical presentation of the political present of Native Americans in the USA, she has created a text that is rich in content and original and concise in its presentation of a variety of perspectives. She has chosen the contemporary struggle of Native Americans as the central problem and phenomenon. The struggle to “rediscover” their own history and cultural identity; a struggle that is understandable and necessary from the perspective of their own marginalization and irrelevance to the majority population.<\/p>\n

“The plebiscite period was only one phase in a longer historical process that is still relevant today,” wrote Janko Pleterski in 1980. Through decades of research and numerous debates, Pleterski deepened and supplemented our knowledge of the Carinthian Slovenes, their place in Slovenian history, and the consequences that the vote had for their national existence.<\/p>\n

Jim Pugel and other Slovenian pioneers of Pueblo, Colorado<\/b><\/p>\n

Author: <\/b>Matja\u017e Klemen\u010di\u010d, Karl Pugelj
\nYear: <\/b>2009<\/i>
\nType: <\/b>monograph<\/i>
\nLanguage: <\/b>English<\/i>
\nCOBISS.SI-ID: <\/b>30345261\n<\/div>\n

This book tells the story of one of the immigrants, Jim (Ignac) Pugelj, and the history of the Slovenian immigrant community in Pueblo. The Pugel family joined the local Slovenian community, which was established in the 1880s, perhaps even earlier. At first, most immigrants settled in an area known as Grove. Many also chose to live in Bessemer. They attended Mass at St. Mary’s Church, read newspapers in their native language, and owned businesses that included taverns, barber shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and bakeries. If you open any page, you will find interesting facts: the Ku Klux Klan in Pueblo and its anti-Catholic orientation; the floods of 1921 and their catastrophic impact on Grove; prohibition and alcohol smuggling; and much more.<\/p>\n

The collection of papers on the Austrian State Treaty (ADP) and questions of Slovenian aspirations regarding the treaty itself and its consequences and effects on the Slovenian minority in Austria consists of ten papers, which are professionally and thematically linked primarily to three aspects: historical analysis of events and circumstances, legal aspects of the ADP and the question of Slovenia’s succession to it, and the political dimensions of the ADP in the light of Slovenia’s bilateral and international relations.<\/p>\n

After the end of the horrors of war and the conclusion of the State Treaty on the restoration of an independent and democratic Austria in 1955, the abolition of compulsory bilingual schooling in southern Carinthia in 1958, the “war against local signs \u2013 Ortstafelsturm” in 1972, and a special census in 1976 continued and maintained the distrust (even “fear”) of Slovenes on both sides of the Karawanks. This began to soften after Slovenia’s independence and after several attempts at dialogue between the minority and the majority, which culminated in the so-called consensus group. It appears that the current situation and political forces in Austria, and especially in Carinthia, are favorable to a positive resolution of the minority issue.<\/p>\n

The monograph aims to stimulate public and professional debate on the future of Slovenia. The key starting point it offers for discussion is the definition of a concept and a new strategy for inclusive, fair, solidarity-based, harmonious, balanced, sustainable, and long-term green development. In the second part of the monograph, the author presents a proposal for a new Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia as a basis for public and expert debate. The monograph is written in a popular style, but in accordance with established research and scientific approaches and methods.<\/p>\n

The Hungarian national community during the period of democratic social change and Slovenian independence: Constitutional regulation of indigenous national communities and the position and challenges of the Hungarian national community in Slovenia in the period 1989-1991<\/b><\/p>\n

Author: <\/b> L\u00e1szl\u00f3 G\u00f6ncz <\/i>
\nYear: <\/b>2024<\/i>
\nType: <\/b>scientific monograph<\/i>
\nLanguage: <\/b>Slovenian<\/i>
\nCOBISS.SI-ID: <\/b>198775043<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dr. G\u00f6ncz’s monograph fills one of the major gaps in the study of recent history and scientific publications on the processes of transition in Slovenia and the independence of the Slovenian state in the 1980s and early 1990s. It presents these historical events and the broader social context in a systematic, documented, transparent, and comprehensive manner, paying particular attention to the situation and position, legal and social status, rights and protection, internal processes and events, and the role of the Hungarian national community during this time and in the dynamic social processes. The author emphasizes that, like the majority nation, members of the Hungarian national community experienced the process of Slovenian independence, which they supported, while at the same time sharing the fate of the religion in which they live, which found itself in economic crisis. In addition to the importance of minority organization and participation and the economy for the Hungarians of Pomurje, he particularly emphasizes the importance of minority language, culture, education, and information for the preservation of a specific identity and the existence of the Hungarian national community.<\/p>\n

Identity without an enemy: from confrontation to peaceful mediation in Carinthia and the Alpine-Adriatic region<\/b><\/p>\n

Author: <\/b> Marjan Sturm<\/i>
\nYear: <\/b>2025<\/i>
\nType: <\/b>scientific monograph<\/i>
\nLanguage: <\/b>Slovenian<\/i>
\nCOBISS.SI-ID: <\/b>249735683<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On the one hand, Sturm’s book is a political biography of a member of the Slovenian national community in Carinthia who, because he shared the fate of his compatriots, became politically active in order to preserve the Slovenian ethnic identity. On the other hand, it is a commented and scientifically informed dialogue about past experiences, successes, and mistakes. All of this is now easier to understand than it was at the time of its occurrence. Wilfried Graf and Gudrun Kramer did an excellent job as moderators, drawing on their experience gained through many years of conflict mediation. In dialogue with them, Marjan Sturm critically reflects on his own actions and those of both the Austrian and Slovenian states.<\/p>\n
