      CROATIAN TOPICS at the 32nd National Convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS)
     
     
      The 32nd National Convention of the AAASS, was held in Denver, Colorado, from November 9 to 12, 2000. Out of over three hundred panels held during the Convention, five of them were solely dedicated to Croatian culture and history, and several others dealt with Croatian topics.
      At the panel Aspects of Music and Society in Nineteenth-Century Croatian Lands, the presenters were: William A. Everett (University of Missouri, Kansas City), "Operetta in Nineteenth-Century Croatia"; Vjera Katalinic, Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences (Zagreb), "Staging History: The 1566 Siege of Siget and Nineteenth-Century Opera", and Lovorka Ruck, Ivan Matetic Ronjgo High School for Music (Zagreb), "Musical Life in Nineteenth-Century Rijeka." The panel was chaired by Hana Breko, Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences (Zagreb) and the discussant was Maria Trochimczyk, University of Southern California.
      The panel International War Crimes Tribunal: Responsibilities, Expectations, and Doubts consisted of Zvonimir Separovic, University of Zagreb, former Minister of Justice, and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Croatia, William Spencer, till recently, U.S. State Department diplomat, Ivan Simonovic, University of Zagreb, Ambassador of the Republic of Croatia to the United Nations. The discussant was Zdenka Gredel Manuele, Niagara University, New York, and Ante Cuvalo, Joliet Jr. College, was the chair.
      Participants at the panel entitled Croatia Since 1990: The Tudjman Era and Beyond were Gordana Crnkovic, University of Washington, "Underground and Public Culture in Croatia Since 1990"; Vjeran Pavlakovic, University of Washington, "The Fate of the Serbs in Tudjman's Croatia", and Tanja Pavlovic, Willamette University, "Ljubica i Bic: Nationality/Sexuality in 1990s Croatia." The discussant was Melissa Katherine Brokovy, University of New Mexico.
      The panel Imagining Croatia: Historical and Filmic Representations consisted of Nick S. Ceh, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, "Reimagining Croatia Through Documentary Films"; Jeff Harder, Loyola University, "The Representation of Croatia through Yugoslav War Films", and Leigh Clemons, Louisiana State University, "Nationalism Through Theater." Ante Cuvalo, chaired the session.
      Presenters at the panel Education in Late Nineteenth-Century Croatia were: Elinor Murray Despalatovic, Connecticut College, "Educating the Village in Croatia-Slavonia ca. 1900" and James Paul Krokar, DePaul University, "Imagined Community or Imaginary Community: the Goals of Non- Confessional Education in Croatia in the 1870s." The discussant was Christine Ruane, University of Tulsa and the chair was Richard Charles Frucht, Northwest Missouri State University.
      Hana Breko, Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences, presented a paper "Non-Beneventan Relics in Medieval Dalmatia" at the panel entitled Catholic Music in Slavic Europe. At the panel Habsburg South Slav Capitals at the Turn of the Century, Sarah Anne Kent, University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, presented a paper on the development of Zagreb.
      On Friday evening, after a short annual meeting of the Association for Croatian Studies, a number of Croatians who participated in the Convention and their friends kept the tradition and had a "Croatian Dinner" at the Adam's Mark Hotel. It was a time to see old friends, to meet new ones, and to discuss plans for the next year's AAASS convention, which will be held in Washington D.C. from November 15 to 18, 2001.
      After the Convention, two of our scholars from Croatia, Vjera Katalinic and Hana Breko, lectured at several places while in the United States. Both of them delivered papers at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. During a few days stay in Chicago, Hana Breko lectured on Medieval Music in Croatia at Joliet Jr. College and Vjera Katalinic gave a presentation on Croatian Music during the Baroque and Enlightenment period at Northeastern Illinois University. Both of them were kind enough and presented a survey of the history of Croatian music at St. Jerome's Croatian church hall in Chicago. This was not only a learning experience but a cordial meeting of the homeland and diaspora.

      WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL
     
     
      At the 2000 National Convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies meeting from November 9 – 12th in Denver, Colorado, a session was devoted to The International War Crimes Tribunal: Responsibilities, Expectations and Doubts. The session was chaired by Ante Cuvalo, Professor at Joliet Junior College and President of the Association for Croatian Studies. Participants included Zvonimir Separovic former Minister of Justice of the Republic of Croatia and Rector of the University of Zagreb, William Spencer, a former member of the U.S. Foreign Service, and Ivan Simonovic, Professor at the University of Zagreb School of Law and presently permanent representative of the Republic of Croatia to the United Nations. Zdenka Gredel-Manuele, Professor of History, Niagara University, New York served as commentator.
      The presenters addressed important issues that resulted from the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. They all raised important legal questions that hinged on the political realities of the time.
      Dr. Separovic questioned the neutrality of the Tribunal. He maintained that when the physical intervention in the former Yugoslavia was no longer possible, the Tribunal was established to solve the problem. He viewed the Tribunal as being expensive, inefficient and biased. He felt that it did not provide a model for the protection of human rights and that consequently it failed to realize its goals. Dr. Separovic concluded that the most effective way to seek justice would be through national courts.
      Mr. Spencer's background in serving with the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina immediately after the Dayton Accords and his service as Special Advisor to the Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, provided an interesting background for his analysis of the International War Crimes Tribunal. He disagreed with the view that the Tribunal was all about politics and not justice. He felt that the Tribunal was burdened with great responsibilities, expectations and doubts. He said that the importance of the international court rests on the belief that it is a viable instrument of justice. The chief reason for this rests in the support given by the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and other allies. The United States has been sharing extensive intelligence with the Tribunal and has provided it with legal counsel and financial support. However, Mr. Spencer adamantly denounced the claim that the War Crimes Tribunal was a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. foreign policy. He maintained that the only way that the Tribunal can do its work is if the international community wills it to do so. Even though the Tribunal may be viewed as being flawed, its significance is that it works and that international justice can be attained.
      Dr. Simonovic addressed the role of the ICTY in the development of international criminal adjudication. He reflected on the dilemma surrounding the discussion over the role and effectiveness of the Tribunal. He maintained that the Tribunal is very important and that it possesses both legal and political dimensions. In an age of technology and global integration, the power and effectiveness of the media upon public response to the horrific events that occurred in the former Yugoslavia, cannot be ignored or minimized in affecting political response. He pointed out that one of the major problems that the Tribunal is facing, is the lack of cooperation by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in bringing war criminals to justice. He also pointed out that the assignment of guilt has been distorted. For example, the Bosnian-Croats have been over represented as perpetrators and under represented as targets. Dr. Simonovic concluded that the ICTY has been partially successful in its overall mission. However, in order for the Tribunal to realize its goals, it must overcome its selective approach to international adjudication and treat all states equally.
      The presentations evoked a lively discussion dealing with issues ranging from the question of the jurisdiction of the Court, the role of the international community in apprehending war criminals and bringing them to justice, the ways in which the injustices in the war (especially against Croats) could be publicized, to the speedy and judicious manner in which prisoners were brought to justice.
     
     
      CROATIAN THEATRE
     
     
     Croatian Theatre and Performance as a Means of Understanding National Identity - Dr. Leigh Clemons
     
      The study of theatrical performance is, by definition, ephemeral and incomplete. Therefore, I have chosen to focus my investigation, and my energies, on explicating the remnants of theatrical production easiest to access--the dramatic texts-and construct a scholarly anthology of representative twentieth-century Croatian plays in translation. This anthology has two goals: first, to facilitate access to play texts for non-Croatian speakers and, second, to provide source materials for generating discussions related to dramatic structure, themes and ideas, and the relationship of theatre to the larger fields of cultural history and national identity.
      The benefits of such an anthology at this time are many. It will, first of all, provide access to Croatian dramatic literature and theatre history previously unavailable to those who did not know the Croatian language. In addition, the anthology will provide primary source texts and cultural context information for study and discussion about Croatian drama and culture in English-language humanities classrooms. Finally, such a collection would also alert those few theatre scholars working in Central Europe that any consideration of dramatic literature from this region must include a consideration of not only "Croatian" texts, but works from all of the countries which once comprised the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. This will, hopefully, stimulate interest in the dramatic literature of other Southern Slavic countries, including Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia, and Montenegro.
     
     
      VILLAGE SCHOOLS
     
     
     Village schools in Croatia-Slavonia ca. 1900 - Dr. Elinor Murray Despalatovic
      The village school in Croatia- Slavonia was an outpost of the modern nation in a world of traditional peasants. What occurred within its walls was a clash between two cultures. The Croatian government and the urban intelligentsia sought through free and compulsory elementary education to create modern Croatian citizens. This meant awakening the pupils to nationalism through study of their national history and culture, substituting modern science for belief in witches and magic, teaching them to work efficiently in a money economy, and training them to follow the lead of the "distinguished" members of their nation.
      Peasants had their own body of knowledge and their own belief system. What they wanted primarily from education was reading and writing and basic arithmetic. Literacy meant that families could keep in touch when a son went for his army service, or a son or husband left for America. Literacy freed you from dependence on others to read documents and letters and sign for you. Basic arithmetic was necessary for marketing of goods, understanding taxes and loans. Primary education was more important for boys than girls. Although four years of schooling was required, the majority of children attended only two or three years. This meant that many forgot the skills they had learned in school. Writing, especially with ink, seems to have been the most difficult to retain.
      Peasant children attending school lived in two worlds. Much of what they learned in their formal education contradicted the wisdom of their elders.
      Village schoolteachers had many duties in addition to work in the classroom. They maintained the school garden, helped gather statistics for censuses and other government statistical studies, served as an extension of the public health system, and often played the organ in the local church. Most village school teachers were male, women had to resign when they married.
     
     
      CROATIAN MUSIC
     
      Two sessions involving Croatian music took place at the AAASS meeting in Denver, Colorado. The session Aspects of Music and Society in Nineteenth-Century Croatian Lands was held on Friday, November 10. Chaired by Hana Breko (Institute for the History of Croatian Music, Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts), papers included "Operetta in Nineteenth-Century Croatia" by William A. Everett (University of Missouri--Kansas City), "Staging History: The 1566 Siege of Siget and Nineteenth-Century Opera" by Vjera Katalinic (Institute for the History of Croatian Music, Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts), and "Musical Life in Nineteenth-Century Rijeka" by Lovorka Ruck (Ivan Matetic Ronjgov High School for Music, Rijeka). Maja Trochimczyk (University of Southern California) was the discussant. All three papers included mention of Ivan Zajc, a central musical personality in nineteenth-century Croatia.
      Hana Breko presented a paper entitled "Non-Beneventan Relics in Medieval Dalmatia" in the session Catholic Music in Slavic Europe on Saturday, November 11. Chaired by William A. Everett, the session also included "Political, Aesthetic, and Ethical Dimensions of Henryk Gorecki's `Catholic' Music" by Maja Trochimczyk. Luke B. Howard (University of Missouri--Kansas City) was the discussant, and drew many parallels between the two papers.

      ZDENKA GREDEL-MANUELE, Niagara University, will participate at the Renaissance Society of America Convention, Chicago, March 29-31, 2001. The title of her paper is "On the Trail of an Ancestor: Enrico Catarina Davila, Condottieri and Historian."
      Enrico Catarina Davila (1576-1631) is famous for writing The History of Civil Wars in France published in Venice in 1630. The work was lauded for its uniqueness and objectivity. It aroused the interests of notables such as the American president John Adams and James Madison and the Prussian historian Leopold von Ranke. Besides his role as a historian and political thinker, Davila embodied the Renaissance spirit of versatility and adventure. Born in Padua into a Spanish noble family which had served as royal constables of Cyprus, Davila fought in the French civil wars. Upon his return to Italy he entered the service of the Venetian Republic and distinguished himself as a condottieri.
      This study will examine the relationship between Davila's scholarship and his military exploits which exemplified the Renaissance spirit. In addition it will examine his family background and linkage to his descendants today.
      We may add, Davila has also a "Croatian connection" and Dr. Gredel-Manuele is one of his descendants.

     CONCEPTION
     
     
      The series Quellen und Beiträge zur kroatischen Kulturgeschichte was started in 1988 and was created to balance the main Slavic research interests in the culture of hegemonistic nations and peoples in the Slavic region. Therefore its intention was to contribute to a detailed view of the Slavic world and to the compensation of the research deficits due to the cultural and scholarly neglect of for example the Croatian, Slovakian and Ukrainian people in supranational states.
      This first intention already gave the impetus to continue the edition of the series without any interruption or fundamental change in the later context of the worldwide development towards globalization and towards "cultural turn" in scholarly discussions about the role of culture and regional identity in a globalized world. The paradigm change from systems theories to cultural debates evaluates the role of culture in a sense of all-embracing communication in macro- and micro-areas for social, political, and economical transformation. This change depends on a deepened knowledge of single cultures and regional communities.
      Today the series Quellen und Beiträge zur kroatischen Kulturgeschichte hopes to contribute to such cultural debates in the context of globalization.
     
     The volumes published up to now cover several thematic units:
     
     
     Unit 1: The involvement of Croatian culture in international cultural history:
      The first volume Juraj Dragisic und Johannes Reuchlin (1989) deals with Dragisic's involvement in defending Reuchlin's plead for conservation and printing of Jewish books in 1510 and also publishes a reprint of Dragisic's Defensio praestantissimi viri Joannis Reuchlin (1517).
     The ninth volume contains a reprint of the important but up to now not easily accessible source of Renaissance discussion of Platonism and Aristotelism, the Discussiones peripateticae (1581, reprint 1999) of Franciscus Patricius (Frane Petric) and presents a survey and evaluation of his life and work. This philosopher valued the arguments for and against the domination of Aristotelism in Christian theology and came to the conclusion that Platonism was much more suitable for theological argumentation.
     Unit 2: Edition and studies of sources for Croatian culture in the Herzegovinian and Bosnian area:
      The second volume in honor of Basilius Pandzic (OFM) Regiones paeninsulae Balcanicae et Proximi orientis (1988) includes a great deal of contributions to the culture of this area.
      The sixth volume Bosna Argentina (1995) is a collection of articles on the history of the Order of St. Francis in Bosnia and Herzegovina and mentions or discusses more than one thousand sources.
     Unit 3: The history of standardization of the Croatian language:
     The fifth volume reprints and discusses the attempt of Rajmund Dzamanjic to codify the orthography of the Croatian language: Nauk za pisati dobro (1639, reprint 1991).
      Volume eight presents a historical study about the formation of the Croatian language: Die Entstehung der kroatischen Literatursprache (1997).
     Unit 4: Bartol Kasic, initiator of the codification of the Croatian language:
      The third volume Drei anonyme Wörterbücher der kroatischen Sprache aus Dubrovnik, Perugia und Oxford. Zur Sammlung der 'disiecta membra' des frühen Opus von Bartol Kasic (1990) discusses the predecessors of the first dictionary of the Croatian language dating back to the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century. All of them can be attributed to Bartol Kasic who also created the first Croatian grammar (Institutiones linguae illyricae, 1604) as well as the first translation of the Old and New Testament into Croatian on the basis of a Shtokavian dialect (printed first in 2000).
      The fourth volume (1991) contains the tragedy Venefrida (1627) of Bartol Kasic including a glossary and commentary.
     Unit 5: The role and importance of church books translated into a vernacular (lingua vulgaris) for the development of the Croatian language on the basis of a Shtokavian dialect:
      Volume seven consists of two parts and presents the reprint of a book of church lessons and prayers. The importance of this book for the development of the Croatian language cannot be overestimated from a sociolinguistic point of view. It is the widely known book of lessons in a vernacular on the basis of a Shtokavian dialect by Ivan Bandulavi : Pisctole i evangelya, 1613 (1997) with commentary and glossary which was used in all Catholic churches in the area from Istria to East Bosnia and which went through many editions during the centuries.
     Unit 6: Specific linguistic developments and interactions in the regions of Croatian culture:
      The tenth volume is dedicated to the reconstruction and investigation of the extinct Dalmato-Romance and Istro-Romance languages in the eastern Adriatic area and their interaction with Croatian "middle languages": Das Dalmatische. Studien zu einer untergegangenen Sprache (2000).

     Soljan, Antun. A Brief Excursion and Other Stories. Translated from the Croatian by Ellen Elias- Bursac. 224 pp. Northwestern University Press. December 1999; ISBN: 0-8101-1635-9; Paper $16.95
     
      "We had the impression that something, at last, was really happening. The wartime question of 'Where are we?' and the postwar 'Where are we going?' had lost their edge . . . that was when we had begun to wonder once again 'Where are we from?' "
      It was precisely at that moment, the narrator tells us, that a team of archaeologists and painters, art historians, and photographers set out almost spontaneously in search of the medieval frescoes of Istria. So begins A Brief Excursion, a picaresque adventure in which a tantalizing hint of hidden riches, forgotten beauty, and a whiff of the past lure an odd assortment of characters toward the unexpected.
      A Brief Excursion, Antun Soljan's second novel, anchors this collection of fiction by one of the most significant postwar Croatian writers. This novel and the others, including many from Soljan's first book, Traitors, reveal a sensibility both comic and poignant, devoted to questions of identity and solidarity, of how the one and the many conflict and intermingle--issues that were at the center of both political and literary life for Soljan. In one story after another--whether fixing up a summer house on the Istrian coast or confronting prejudice and the past in a tourist town--Soljan's characters are stirred to action by a chimera of longing only to find, at the end of their efforts, the stark landscape of self-knowledge and loss.
      Soljan's ironic, playful writing, always flirting with the political, asserts itself throughout these stories with their portrayal of the complex identity of his generation.
      Antun Soljan was born in Belgrade in 1932. Throughout his life he took an activist role in defining the tasks of the writer and the writer's relation to society. His politics, dissenting from the Communist line, made him a persona non grata in public life from 1974 to 1993 but earned his ideas and views a ubiquitous presence in the Croatian cultural scene. Soljan's stature in Croatian literature and the popularity of his writing have prompted the translation of his novels, essays, poems, and plays into a growing number of languages. He died in 1993.
      Ellen Elias-Bursac is a preceptor for Croatian and Serbian in the Slavic department at Harvard University. She won the AATSEEL Translation Prize for her translation of David Albahari's Words are Something Else, also published by Northwestern University Press.

      Whether or not one wants to refer to the era in which we live as one of postmodernism and deconstruction, it is clear that political leaders are no longer treated with the automatic awe and respect that went along with their office in bygone days. Whether dead or alive, political leaders in the United States no longer hold a privileged position. Nowadays, one will read books about Thomas Jefferson's sexual indiscretions, George Washington's hypocrisy on owning slaves, even the social construction of Abraham Lincoln's image as the Great Emancipator, given that many people hated him deeply, in the North and South. The current president, Bill Clinton, is praised for his job performance at the same time that the entire world is privy to intimate details of his sex life, a state of affairs that would have been unimaginable a generation ago. Films have been made about Nixon, Truman, and Kennedy that expose their human and often times darker sides. Similarly, scores of books have been written about Franklin D. Roosevelt, from his sexual affairs to his alleged orchestration of getting the United States involved into World War II. This book by Ivo Tasovac rides the wave of this current deconstructionist attack on U.S. presidents in general and Roosevelt in particular. What is unique about Tasovac's book, however, is the focus on a neglected aspect of U.S. foreign policy toward Yugoslavia.
      Thus, Tasovac is filling a black hole in such scholarship, namely, Roosevelt's attitudes and policies toward Eastern Europe in general and Yugoslavia in particular. The recent wars in the former Yugoslavia that began in 1991, and are still smoldering in Kosovo (as of this writing) demonstrate clearly that most people — professional analysts and laypersons alike — do not have a clue as to how Yugoslavia was created, by whom, and for what reasons. It was just assumed by most people that Yugoslavia was a voluntary association of several Slavic ethnic groups, run mostly by Serbs for the good of all, and that it functioned much better than the Soviet Union. After all, the common wisdom went, there was no Iron Curtain surrounding Yugoslavia. After all, scholars would say, Yugoslavia had self-management and other quasi-capitalistic practices. You could buy nylons and chocolates in Yugoslavia when such things could only be dreamed of in Czechoslovakia or Hungary. These are the neat, tidy, and hopelessly superficial images of Yugoslavia that have informed much of American foreign policy in the present century. When Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Kosovo, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, demanded their independence from Belgrade in the 1990s, most journalists, diplomats, and persons in general could not understand the reasons why.
      Tasovac demonstrates that Roosevelt, along with Churchill and Stalin, made some deals and decisions regarding Yugoslavia that had and continue to have far-reaching consequences for that country in the present century — and will no doubt continue to affect the next century. There was no Yugoslavia prior to 1918. Croatia and Slovenia were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and most of the rest of what came to be called Yugoslavia was emerging from the Balkan Wars for independence from the Ottoman Empire. The first Yugoslavia was, in reality, a Serbian dictatorship, and Croatia and Slovenia wanted independence from it in the 1930s. Tasovac makes it clear that Roosevelt wanted to prop up and maintain a synthetic Yugoslavia in order to contain the Nazis. The British were even more deeply implicated in the eventual conceptual morass that persists to this day as to the "liberation" versus "fascist" tendencies of Chetniks, Ustashe, Communists, and other groups they played against each other, all for the sake of slowing down Hitler, and making it harder for him to finish off Europe. What Tasovac uncovers is that with these motives and the actions they took, Roosevelt and the British had unwittingly sown the seeds of another Balkan War in the present century, the one that began in 1991 and still has not really ended.
      Tasovac makes a compelling case for this interpretation with the use of hitherto unused archival material. The consequences of this new insight are far reaching. If Roosevelt and the British sold the Croats, Slovenes and others to Belgrade for the sake of a "higher cause" much like they gave away much of Eastern Europe to the Soviet Union, then the general understanding of the Balkans as the alleged pit of ancient tribal hatreds must be reevaluated. The hatreds in the Balkans are neither ancient nor intrinsic to the Balkan people. Had Serbia gone her own cultural way, in the direction of Russia, and the other regions of Yugoslavia in the direction of the West, the history of Europe in this century would have been entirely different. But before Western analysts can begin to conceptualize alternative historical scenarios, and political scientists can thereby begin to imagine alternatives for the future other than continued Serbian domination of Kosovars and others who clearly do not want to be dominated any longer, some of the unpleasant truths found in this book must be confronted first. While some of the facts that Tasovac uncovers in this book might have been shocking a generation ago, and might not have found a publisher willing to question the immense prestige of Roosevelt, humanity has matured, or at least become more cynical about its leaders since then. The time is ripe for a critical assessment of Roosevelt's role in the Yugoslav nightmare that seems to never end.

      Lovers and Madmen is dominated by two central themes: politics and love. Julienne Busic's memoirs take the reader through the events which shaped her life with Croatian dissident husband, Zvonko-assassination attempts, threats from the Yugoslav secret police, flights from country to country, enforced poverty and deprivation -- and characterize the love which led to the greatest sacrifice of all: a sentence of life in prison for the political hijacking of a TWA jet.
      Less than twenty years after that desperate act, Yugoslavia broke apart in a spasm of war and Croatia is now an independent state. The message contained in the leaflets thrown during the hijacking served as a prophesy of this disintegration and the vicious Serbian aggression, first in Croatia and Bosnia, and most recently in Albanian populated Kosovo. Julienne Busic served thirteen years in prison and was released on parole in 1989. Zvonko Busic is still incarcerated, almost 25 years later, in a maximum-security federal prison in Leavenworth, Kansas.

      Behind an unimpressive title and a somewhat confusing cover, and most of all behind an excrutiatingly heavy scholarly introduction of 321 pages (!), there are, in my opinion, some of the most important pages about Croatian predicament written in recent years.
      Dr. Ivo Rogic is a Professor of Urban Ecology at the School of Architecture at the Croatian University of Zagreb. He is also a Professor of Sociology at the Croatian Studies, and Program Director at the Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar. Rogic is a sociologist, philosopher and a major poet.
      The introduction may be of great interest to sociologists and other social scientists, but I am not sure "an ordinary reader" would greatly profit from it. For me the most revealing lesson was that those countries which have led in modernization have constituted themselves as "bourgeois empires," i.e., they are parliamentary democracies, but they act as empires both within (the rule of the strongest group or nation), and without (imposing "modernization" abroad to secure uniformity of world view). This insight helps explain our modern day predicament, which is masterfully described in the argument dealing with Croatia from the Nagodba (1868) until today.
      Rogic is, of course, aware that we have had a rotten history. When "modernization" becomes the real issue of success, Croatia finds itself at the outskirts of the West, exhausted by Turkish wars, and oppressed by both Vienna and Budapest. The Croats have to resort to "nagodbenjastvo" (deal-cutting). Modernization is in the hands of the foreigners (big industry, big cities, major infrastructure) while only the small is accessible to the native (small business, small cities, regional infrastructure). In the first Yugoslavia Croatia remains a colony, exploited by a country which is way behind in modernization. An attempt to substitute the peasantry as a modernization force has dubious results, and at the key moment the leadership fails to join the ranks of the "modernization" forces due to win the war.
      Instead, Croatia plunges into a civil war between two totalitarian systems which the winning one, the communists, would extend as their means of controlling Croatia until 1990. Again, any attempt of Croatia to "modernize" (for Rogic "modernization" means "success") is thwarted. A class of "rent-a-state" rentiers develops, who perpetuate the system (any rent as small as it may be is preferable to work, which is anyhow not allowed in the modern sense of the word).
      With that package Croatia enters the Liberation War. It is successful because, in spite of everything, it is more "modern" than its opponents (rejection of deal-cutting, and of "civil war" complex). But the mentality of deal-cutting and rent-a-state ("para- bureaucracy") returns to plague the post-War developments.
      There are three areas which particularly impressed me:
      1.Mechanisms of Serb expansionism and aggression. With a generous help of the West, Serbia has remained the West's favorite Balkan policeman as a central country of a "bourgeois empire."
      2. The role of the diaspora. Rogic lucidly points out that as domestic modernization stalled at the end of the 19th century, millions of Croats emigrated and carried out Croatian modernization and urbanization abroad. As such, they (A Planetary Croatia) are a great resource for "modernization" of the country. And too much Croatian history, social development and culture has happened abroad, in the central countries of modernization, not to be embraced as an inseparable part of Croatian nation and history. Thus, the "diaspora" (which, in fact, it is not!) becomes "an inner participant" in Croatian destiny.
      3. Future. The stepping stones to becoming a successful "modern" state and society are: "Clean country and beautiful people," in which "clean" means more than clean water, and "beautiful" more than physical attractiveness; "Niches of planetary excellence", areas in which Croats can excel with utmost professional skill; "Antitotalitarianism," as one of the most positive aspects of Croatian heritage, and the key to the victory in the Liberation War ("Vukovarska Hrvatska").
      In fact, Croatia may have skipped "modernity." The three aspects Croatia needs to strive for are "active contribution to post-modern reconstruction of modernization." It also seems to me that this kind of excellence questions the institution of the "bourgeois empire." Could this be yet another reason for resistance to Croatia's independence, to successful "autonomy of Croatia's state and society" which is, according to Rogic, "the starting point of third Croatian (post)modernization."
      You may not agree with me, or with the author, but the book will make you THINK. And at times it even sounds like an attractive program for a more secure and more prosperous Croatia. V. Goss

     IN MEMORIAM
     
     
     We bring here the obituaries of two Croatian Americans that were not well known in our ethnic community, but they did share in our Croatian heritage and culture, and have contributed to the advancement of knowledge, compassion, and economic progress in America.
     
     
      BORIS ALBINI
     
     
     Boris Albini, 57, of Williamsville, died Tuesday (June 20, 2000) in his home after a long illness.
      A memorial Mass for Albini, a University of Buffalo professor of microbiology and research professor of medicine, was held at 11 a.m. Friday in St. Joseph's University Catholic Church, 3269 Main St.
      A native of Zagreb, Croatia, Albini came to UB in 1974 from the University of Vienna as a Max Kade Fellow to study immunopathology with Giuseppe Andres, now a UB professor emeritus.
      In 1975, Albini was named a Buswell Fellow and a year later joined the faculty of the department of microbiology as an assistant professor.
      Much of Albini's research focused on a wide range of autoimmune diseases, including lupus erythematosus, systemic chronic serum sickness, Crohn's disease and others related to kidney disease.
      He was named a Fulbright Scholar in 1991 and taught and conducted research in the department of experimental pathology at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.
      His collaborative research with Austrian colleagues focused on studies of immune responses to bacterial components and lymphocyte function in aging.
      A compassionate, gentle and generous man, mindful of victims of the ongoing conflict in the Balkans, Albini traveled to Bosnia three years ago under auspices of International Medical Relief of Western New York.
      His mission included continuing the organization's efforts to improve medical care and education and to gather information critical in obtaining funds for the program.
      His multilingual fluency as well as his scientific and medical expertise were considered invaluable for the organization's success.
      Albini devoted many hours to community service, in one year alone volunteering more than 900 hours working for various community, university and international groups. For more than a decade, he served as a member of the board of directors of the International Institute of Buffalo.
      In addition, he worked on projects for United University Professions, the faculty and staff union at UB, and for New York State United Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers. His union-related efforts and other volunteer work earned him the Regina Kociecki Award for Distinguished Achievement from the UB Health Sciences Chapter of the statewide union. He also received a Community Service Award from the state teachers union.
      His service to UB included membership on the medical school's admission committee and Faculty Council and on the university's Faculty Senate.
      He was a member of the Ernest Witebsky Center for Immunology at UB and was president of the Buffalo Collegium of Immunology at the time of his death.
      He was the author or co-author of some 140 scientific publications and served as an associate editor or member of the editorial boards of several peer-reviewed journals.
      A graduate of the University of Vienna, Albini had degrees in medicine and music. He also studied romance languages and the history of theater. He was an accomplished pianist, painter and playwright and had done journalistic writing in Austria.

     Victor Grinich, one of the founders of Fairchild Semiconductor, the Silicon Valley company that helped start the computer revolution, died Sunday, November 4, 2000 in Mountain View, Calif. He was 75 and the cause of death was prostate cancer.
      An electrical engineer by training, Grinich went to work for Shockley Semiconductor in 1956 but found it difficult to work for William Shockley, a Nobel Prize winner for his work as co-inventor of the transistor. A year later, he and seven colleagues founded Fairchild. Shockley called his defecting employees the "traitorous eight."Other members of the group were Jean Hoenri, Eugene Kleiner, Jay Last, Gordon Moore, Sheldon Roberts, Sherman Fairchild and Robert Noyce. Noyce, who died in 1990, founded Intel. Hoenri died in 1997.
      Grinich began at Fairchild as head of engineering and applications and then was second in command of the research and development department, which was headed by Moore.
      Fairchild produced the first commercially viable integrated circuit, a forerunner of the modern computer chip.
      Fairchild has grown into a $786 billion company with more than 8,000 employees. The company's chips power electronic devices are used in cars, computers and telecommunications equipment.
      Born Victor Grgurinovich in Aberdeen, Washington, to Croatian immigrant parents he grew up bilingual. His mother died when he was a child.
      Grinich served in the Navy during World War II. He changed his name after the war, to avoid the difficult spelling and went off to college, earning bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Washington and a doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford.
      After leaving Fairchild in the late 1960s, Grinich taught at UC Berkeley and Stanford. He was coauthor of the textbook, "Introduction to Integrated Circuits." He also headed some smaller Silicon Valley firms.
      He is survived by his wife, two sons, Nick and Philip, daughter Anita, and three grandchildren

     DISCOVERY OF AN ILLYRIAN SANCTUARY
     
     
      In October 2000, it was revealed that a team of Croatian and international archaeologists discovered a cave on a remote hillside on Croatia's Adriatic coast that contains artifacts of an ancient Illyrian cult sanctuary dating from the First millennium B.C. The
      cave was sealed for the last 2,000 years. The excavation of this site has provided new insight into the history and culture of the Illyrians, an Indo-European people that settled in the area around 1000 B.C. The Nakovana Cave is now a nationally protected cultural monument and all material recovered is the property of the Republic of Croatia, curated by the Archaeological Museum of Dubrovnik.
