Monografija slovenskega zgodovinarja Gregorja Antoličiča je prva na Slovenskem, ki pod drobnogled jemlje življenje Maksimilijana Habsburškega, najbolj znanega po tem, da je v 60. letih 19. stoletja ...prevzel mehiški prestol. Zgodbo o Maksimiljanovi mehiški avanturi sicer najdemo že v znanem stripu Meksikajnarji Zorana Smiljanića, njegovo življenjsko ozadje pa predstavljata tudi romana Prikazen iz Rovenske Draga Jančarja in Maks Dimitrija Rupla. Te romaneskne upodobitve je Antoličič v svoji monografiji nadgradil z zgodovinsko analizo in povzel tudi tiste epizode Maksimilijanovega življenja, ki slovenskemu bralcu niso tako znane. Pri tem si je pomagal s sistematičnim študijem arhivskega gradiva, pri čemer, razumljivo, prednjačijo viri iz avstrijskega prostora, ter s širokim naborom literature. Monografija je zastavljena klasično in v osmih poglavjih prikazuje najpomembnejše etape Maksimilijanovega življenja. Za slovenskega bralca, ki brata Franca Jožefa povezuje zlasti s potjo prostovoljcev v mehiško vojsko, je še posebej zanimivo, da je posebno poglavje posvečeno prav odpravi »meksikajnarjev«.
By examining the cases of emigrants coming from the Julian March to Argentina and Prekmurje to the United States, the article evaluates state-diaspora relations in the interwar context of shifting ...borders and changing political regimes. Whereas the Slovene-speaking population of Prekmurje, due to lasting Hungarian influence, was reluctant to embrace the Yugoslav idea, Slovene and Croat emigrants from the Julian March were fond of it. Assessing the methods of the Yugoslav extraterritorial nation-building process and emigrants’ identifications, the author suggests that while Prekmurje emigrants maintained their non-national identity, the Julian March diaspora developed its own vision of the Yugoslav “homeland.”
Knjiga zgodovino migracij v vsaki od držav Srednje in Vzhodne Evrope podaja v zgoščeni obliki, zato niti ni mogoče pričakovati, da bi se avtorji posameznih prispevkov spuščali v poglobljeno ...pojasnjevanje migracijskih procesov. Ne glede na to pa knjiga da vedeti, da migracije niso obstranski, ampak ključni del zgodovine tega dela celine, ki jo je bolj kot priseljevanje zaznamovalo izseljevanje. Knjiga je dragocen doprinos k poznavanju preteklosti »druge Evrope«, z navedbo pomembnejšega arhivskega gradiva in literature na koncu razdelka o vsaki državi pa je tudi opora pri nadaljnjem raziskovanju. S seznanjanjem o izseljevanju v času komunistične zaprtosti, ki ga je vsaj ponekod zaznamoval tudi beg pred kremeljskimi tanki, nas opominja, da so države na to preteklost pri oblikovanju današnjih migracijskih politik očitno pozabile.
Opposition to the fascist policy in the Julian March, as well as to fascism in general, led to close surveillance of Slovene emigrants from this area by Fascist Italy. The author first provides an ...outline of the Italian surveillance of the activities promoted by emigrant associations, then analyses the pressure exerted by the Argentine authorities on leftist emigrants and the sharing of their criminal records with Italy, and finally focuses on antifascist activities promoted by female immigrants. He argues that the Italian extraterritorial surveillance depended on the type of emigrant transnational political engagement, which was motivated by increased suppression of the minorities in the Julian March.
Članek obravnava nekatere aspekte priseljevanja primorskih Slovencev v argentinsko družbo, kot so se kazali skozi izseljensko korespondenco. Temelji na osebnih izkušnjah migracijskega procesa, kot so ...ga doživeli člani družine Vrabec iz Pliskovice na Krasu in nekateri drugi vaščani. V ospredju članka so osebni vidiki vključevanja v argentinsko družbo, pri čemer je izpostavljeno tako vzdrževanje vezi, ki so jih stkali na domačih tleh (s sorodniki, prijatelji, širšo »vaško skupnostjo«), kot vzdrževanje stikov s tistimi, ki so ostali doma.
This article explores how the Kingdom of Yugoslavia tried to co-opt Slovenes who emigrated from the Italian Julian March/Venezia Giulia region to Argentina (a community of around 25,000 emigrants) ...into the frame of its unbound nation and analyzes the emigrants’ attitudes towards the Kingdom. As emigrants derived from the territory were considered by Yugoslav authorities to be “unredeemed,” the article, explores how Yugoslavia addressed its “two diasporas,” one of stranded minorities and one of emigrants. Secondly, it examines how diplomatic representatives suppressed emigrants’ opposition during times of economic crisis and dictatorial government in Yugoslavia and Argentina. Thirdly, it analyzes the rapprochement between the emigrant community and diplomatic representatives which occurred in the second half of the 1930s. It argues that because the diplomatic corps were ultimately unable to provide the emigrants socio-economic assistance or address the issue of the Julian March minority, emigrants devised alternative visions of belonging. In addition, the article suggests that many emigrants, caught between a powerless homeland and a host society unwelcoming of their particular identities, drifted into Argentine anonymity.
The author deals with the Yugoslav diaspora in Brazil during the interwar period. Although the formation of the Yugoslav diaspora out of Slovenian and Croatian emigrant communities was in line with ...Yugoslavia’s aspirations for organising emigrant communities on the Yugoslav basis, the foundations of South Slavic cooperation in Brazil had existed already before World War I. The Yugoslav diaspora in Brazil was very fagile, and its contacts with the “homeland” only superfcial. Several factors contributed to that, among them most signifcantly the absence of Yugoslavia’s concern for its emigrants in Brazil on the one hand and the Brazilian policy of nationalising immigrants on the other. Emigrant activists sought to compensate for the absence of Yugoslavia’s engagement, but their actions would ofen lead to increased fagmentation of the community. Moreover, the author focuses on the community of Slovenian emigrants fom the Julian March region. While a part of this community identifed with the Yugoslav diaspora, another segment of it remained autonomous.
