The book analyses integration and inclusion policies, and outlines the development of multicultural and intercultural education, prejudices and their overcoming. She opens the questions about hyphenated identity and explains why and from where migrant children came to Slovenia. The second part of the book introduces an innovative model of intercultural education, composed of seven criteria: 1. interculturality as a pedagogical-didactic principle, 2. systemic support for a successful inclusion of immigrant children, 3. teachers with a developing intercultural competence, 4. development of the awareness of a multicultural society in all school subjects, 5. development of intercultural dialogue in school, 6. cooperation with immigrants (parents), 7. cooperation with the local community. The intercultural education model expects active participation from everybody: students and parents, teachers, being migrants themselves or not, migrants’ associations, local and national organizations. The author believes that every teacher has an impact on the including (or excluding) society with her/his attitude, knowledge or actions. Everybody is responsible for inclusion.

The book was published by a respected Slovenian publisher Beletrina (2018). The book is most likely the first very detailed attempt to conceptualize the socially constitutive role of material culture in the proces of nation-building and nationalising (with this case of the Kranjska sausage and Slovenina nation, with many »migration« cases and stories). The book received great media attention and was awarded by Gourmand International as the best book in the category Culinary History in Yantai (China, 2018).

The article addresses the migration processes in the fifteen years after WWII in what is today’s Slovenian coastal region. The main emphasis is on the immigration following the annexation of this area to socialist Yugoslavia in 1954. The replacement of the population, the radical change of the ethnic structure and the geography of the immigration inflow are outlined. Some questions that affected the immigration and repopulation process are discussed and some possibilities for further research are presented, i.e. the policy and management of the migration processes, the inclusion patterns of the newcomers and the relationships among the indigenous and immigrant components.

The author presents an overview of the complex migration dynamics in Slovenia and its border regions over the last two hundred years. She covers migrations in “Austrian times”, during the First World War and the time of the first Yugoslavia, during the Second World War and the second Yugoslavia, and during the war in Yugoslavia and Slovenia’s gaining of independence. Both the intensive migration dynamics that occurred due to people’s seeking of employment and refuge, and the political movement of the borders, have been construed in migration studies as highly complex phenomena. This poses numerous challenges for interpreting how to understand migrations in 21st-century migration studies.

The book entitled “Fish on the Move”, published by Springer Publishing House navigates along North Adriatic shores. This in itself is a complicated endeavour. One needs first to understand contested borders, shifting citizenship, migration issues in the region, acrobatic tourist rhetoric that allows for constant transformations of turbulent conflicts into a richly-layered heritage; one needs to crack the paradox between the promotional Istrian label – multiculturalism, and a nationalist wish to preserve pure cultures framed by clearly defined borders; but one also needs to embrace the fact that instead of all the formal should-be or solid historical border lines, the North Adriatic has always been a place of interconnected routes walked and sailed by ordinary people. The book has been ranked by the Slovenian Research Agency among the achievements of Excellent in Science 2018.
