F.27 Contribution to preserving/protecting natural and cultural heritage
COBISS.SI-ID: 41297453The lecture brought a brief overview of the emigration from Slovenian ethnic territory from the beginnings of Slovenian mass emigration until today. The author placed Slovenian emigration in the context of European mass emigration. She emphasised that in the framework of Slovenian emigration we can speak about the generation of emigrants from the second half of the 19th century or from the turn of the century, the generation from the period between the two world wars, the generation of the post-second-world-war political emigration and the generation of the post-second-world-war economic emigration. Members of these generations left their homeland when it was marked by different socialpolitical and cultural-linguistic contexts, and they transferred these contexts to their descendants. The latter were different from the generations of Slovenian emigrants who came to their milieus later on, and from their off-spring. The lecture for teachers contributed significantly to teachers' knowledge concerning the history of Slovenian emigration.
