MMCP Resource on Croatia after 1990



LGI Managing Multiethnic Communities Project (MMCP) Announcement
*****************************************************************

Bibliography on Ethnic Relations and Minorities in Croatia after 1990
Compiled by Ivana Djuric

New resource on LGI web site
http://www.osi.hu/lgi/ethnic/croatia.html

This bibliography, as all other annotated bibliographies published by
LGI Managing Multiethnic Communities Project, contains two parts. The
first part is on the books printed after 1990, devoted to the ethnic
issues in Croatia. The second part contains various articles published
in periodicals after 1990 on the same topic. The bibliography had no
intention to become complete and focuses mainly on publications in the
Croatian language, but not exclusively. Although minority languages
and scripture are included, the language of the bibliography is
Croatian because it compiles literature published in Croatian. The
main purpose of bibliography is to inform rather than to reflect
dominant trends in Croatian academic production.

Criteria of selection
Subjectivity was an important characteristic of the selection
procedure. Basic intention was to include scholarly works on
interethnic relations in Croatia after 1990. That means that
nonacademic writings, memoirs and testimonies are avoided. Also, the
articles shorter than 3 pages are not taken into account. As agreed
with LGI, nationalistic discourse is excluded. The year 1990 has been
selected as the starting point due to the changes that affected ethnic
relations and social sciences in all post-socialist countries. During
selection an attempt has been made to represent a variety of academic
themes. Therefore the selected titles can be placed into 5 categories:
ethnic identity, war in Croatia, interethnic relations, human and
minority rights, multiculturalism. Despite the attempt to balance
representation of all social sciences, it is evident that sociology,
history, ethnology and political science prevail. Also, a great number
of selected items deals with Serbo-Croatian relations which is due to
the recent war in Croatia. Special attention has been made to include
works completed by minority writers. All selected titles are publicly
accessible. The research has been conducted in National University
Library, City Library and Bozidar Adzija Library in Zagreb, Croatia.
