Historical and Cultural Perespectives on Slovenian Migrations
Znanstvena monografija odraža pestrost teoretičnih in metodoloških pristopov kot časovno in prostorsko širino obravnav. Avtorji obravnavajo odnos države in cerkve do izseljenstva (M. Drnovšek) slovensko izseljevanje intelektualcev v slovanski svet kot atipični pojav (I. Gantar Godina), emigrantsko literaturo in njeno mesto v slovenskem slovstvu in odnos domovine do nje (J. Žitnik), likovno umetnost kot vir za raziskovanje migracijske izkušnje z vidika ohranjanja in spreminjanja identitete (K. Toplak), žensko izseljevanje in njihove vloge pri ohranjanju etnične identitete v priseljenskem okolju (M. Milharčič-Hladnik), vprašanja multikulturalizma v evropskih migracijskih procesih in hkrati kot element razpoznavnosti in identifikacijske drugačnosti v odnosih do priseljenske skupnosti (M. Lukšič Hacin).

The A to Z of Slovenia
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.
The Native's Return
Early in the spring of 1932, when I received a Guggenheim Fellowship requiring me to go to Europe for a year, I was thirty-three and had been in the United States for nineteen years. At fourteen--a son of peasants, with a touch of formal "city education"--I had emigrated to the United States from Carnoila, then a tiny Slovene province of Austria, now an even tinier part of a banovina in the new Yugoslav state. -- Pg. 3.

Making It in America
This collection of over 400 biographies of eminent ethnic Americans celebrates a wide array of inspiring individuals and their contributions to U.S. history. The stories of these 400 eminent ethnic Americans are a testimony to the enduring power of the American dream. These men and women, from 90 different ethnic groups, certainly faced unequal access to opportunities. Yet they all became renowned artists, writers, political and religious leaders, scientists, and athletes. Kahlil Gibran, Daniel Inouye, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Thurgood Marshall, Madeleine Albright, and many others are living proof that the land of opportunity sometimes lives up to its name. Alongside these success stories, as historian Elliot R. Barkan notes in his introduction to this volume, there have been many failures and many immigrants who did not stay in the United States. Nevertheless, the stories of these trailblazers, visionaries, and champions portray the breadth of possibilities, from organizing a nascent community to winning the Nobel prize. They also provide irrefutable evidence that no single generation and no single cultural heritage can claim credit for what America is.
