  • Migrant workers in post-Yugoslav Slovenia : between memory, solidarity and denial
    Vidmar, Ksenija H. ; Učakar, Tjaša
    The paper addresses the question of the social conditions of migrant workers from ex-Yugoslav countries in present day Slovenia. The analysis approaches the question from a comparative historical ... perspective in which public discourses on migrants from the region of (former) Yugoslav states are examined in a pre- and post-1991 contexts. The central focus is on the changing political and cultural perceptions of the migrant worker in the two historical periods and the shifting narratives in which the image of the "foreign" labor force is thematized. A close discourse analysis of public depictions of massive lay-offs of the immigrant workers in Slovenia, due to collapse of the national construction companies, and their status of international (non)protection is used to examine the implications of migrant labour in contemporary Europe. This issue is illuminated in relation to current theories of European model of society, European citizenship, regional solidarity and cross-national justice. In conclusion, the authors challenge the idea of "we, the Europeans" discourse by pointing to the need to overturn its exclusionary logic in daily and regional settings of various "Europes".
