CONTENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selected chapters from the history of the Slovenian immigrant community in Brazil by Dr. Ne\u017ea Hlebanja is the first comprehensive presentation of the existence, development, and continuity of the Slovenian immigrant community in Brazil over a period of 150 years. The monograph is the first comprehensive study of the Slovenian immigrant community in Brazil and its organization in all three periods of immigration from the Slovenian ethnic territory to Brazil in the form of associations, national homes, support organizations, and ethnic parishes, as well as the activities of this community in the social, economic, political, cultural, and religious spheres.<\/p>\n

The book consists of five parts. In the first part, the author briefly presents the Brazilian state’s policy on immigration and immigration from the Slovenian ethnic territory to Brazil.<\/p>\n

A special section presents the organization of the Slovenian community in Brazil in the form of associations, national homes, support organizations, and ethnic parishes in all three periods of immigration from the Slavic ethnic territory to Brazil.<\/p>\n

In the next chapter, the author presents the activities of emigrants from the Slovenian ethnic territory in Brazil in the cultural (both journalistic and literary and artistic), economic, political, and religious spheres in all three periods of immigration from Slavic ethnic territories to Brazil. Individual Slovenian emigrants were prominent businessmen and builders. For example, Anton Kadunc built the first and tallest skyscraper in South America in S\u00e3o Paulo between the two world wars. Franjo Paternost built the Vila Moinho Velho district of S\u00e3o Paulo.
\nThe author has devoted a special chapter to the activities of the Slovenian Catholic emigrant community in Brazil and the pastoral activities of Slovenian Catholic priests in Brazil. Many of them attained the title of monsignor and became an important part of the Brazilian Catholic hierarchy in Brazilian dioceses. Of course, Slovenian priests devoted themselves to Slovenian communities in Brazil.<\/p>\n

The political activity of the Slovenian Catholic priest Ludvik Ceglar in Brazil was very interesting. He asked Archbishop Arns of S\u00e3o Paulo to bring this problem to the attention of US President Jimmy Carter when he visited Brazil in the early 1970s, at the height of the war against bilingual signs in Austrian Carinthia. This was also reported to the Austrian authorities by their diplomats in Brazil.
\nThe book is an important contribution to our knowledge of the Slovenian community in Brazil and, as such, represents a pioneering work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
