Download or read book The A to Z of Slovenia written by Leopoldina Plut-Pregelj and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 1,300 years Slovenes had lived in Eastern Europe without having a separate Slovene state, but in December of 1990, they voted for independence, or, put more appropriately, for "disassociation" from Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, Slovenia had to fight for its independence, which it did not fully achieve until 1995 after its bloody disintegration with Yugoslavia was over. Since independence, however, Slovenia has prospered; its economy is far ahead of other former communist states and in 2004 Slovenia acceded to both NATO and the European Union, the only republic of former Yugoslavia to do so. The A to Z of Slovenia covers the history of Slovenia and its struggle to gain independence from communism. This is done through a detailed chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on some of the more significant persons, places, and events; institutions and organizations; and political, economic, social, cultural, and religious facets.

Book Semiotics of Peasants in Transition

Download or read book Semiotics of Peasants in Transition written by Irene Portis-Winner and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Semiotics of Peasants in Transition Irene Portis-Winner examines the complexities of ethnic identity in a traditional Slovene village with unique ties to an American city. At once an investigation into a particular anthropological situation and a theoretical exploration of the semiotics of ethnic culture—in this case a culture permeated by transnational influences—Semiotics of Peasants in Transition describes the complex relationships that have existed between and among the villagers remaining in Slovenia and those who, throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio. Describing a process of continuous and enduring interaction between these geographically separate communities, Portis-Winner explains how, for instance, financial assistance from the emigrants enabled their Slovenian hometown to survive the economic depressions of the 1890s and 1930s. She also analyzes the extent to which memories, rituals, myths, and traditional activities from Slovenia have sustained their Cleveland relatives. The result is a unique anthropological investigation into the signifying practices of a strongly cohesive—yet geographically split—ethnic group, as well as an illuminating application of semiotic analyses to communities and the complex problems they face.

Book Rise From Want

    Book Details:
  • Author : James C. Davis
  • Publisher : University of Pennsylvania Press
  • Release : 2016-11-11
  • ISBN : 1512807141
  • Pages : 184 pages

Download or read book Rise From Want written by James C. Davis and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rise From Want explores the ways in which a family of poor peasants from the Karst plateau above Trieste, Italy, lived through the great changes brought about by industrialization and modernization. The book is a careful and imaginative reconstruction of the lives of some humble and illiterate people who left behind them few traces of their existence. Through a gripping narrative of the Žužek family, Davis explores the social changes that accompanied the peasants' "rise from want." During the Middle Ages, the first Žužeks were serfs of the lords in the nearby castle of Duino. Two centuries ago the Žužeks were freed from serfdom, but for another hundred years they continued to be poor and illiterate. In recent decades they have left the land. In each chapter Davis focuses on the ways in which the Žužeks responded to broad social changes. He looks, for example, at how the Žužeks viewed the end of serfdom, and how it affected their ability to make a living; how changes in diet, housing, and medicine reduced the number of infant deaths; how their move from farming to other kinds of work affected relations between husbands, wives and children; how they survived through World War II; and how the prosperity of the industrialized world that began in the 1950s affected their lives. And while Davis focuses on the Žužeks' reactions to these events, he puts them into a context relevant to the historical experience of millions of people. As source material, Davis used not only written sources such as castle charters, church registers, tax collectors' reports, travel diaries, and police records but also interviews with the surviving Žužeks and many elderly villagers who remembered the Karst as it was on the eve of the great changes of the twentieth century. Rise From Want will be of interest to students and scholars of history, especially those concerned with serfdom, industrialization and modernization, population change, Italy, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It will also be of interest to those who have "somewhere among their ancestors, a poor peasant or two."
