- Abstract
The author deals with the Yugoslav diaspora in Brazil during the interwar period. Although the formation of the Yugoslav diaspora out of Slovenian and Croatian emigrant communities was in line with Yugoslavia's aspirations for organising emigrant communities on the Yugoslav basis, the foundations of South Slavic cooperation in Brazil had existed already before World War I. The Yugoslav diaspora in Brazil was very fragile, and its contacts with the "homeland" only superficial. Several factors contributed to that, among them most significantly the absence of Yugoslavia's concern for its emigrants in Brazil on the one hand and the Brazilian policy of nationalising immigrants on the other. Emigrant activists sought to compensate for the absence of Yugoslavia's engagement, but their actions would often lead to increased fragmentation of the community. Moreover, the author focuses on the community of Slovenian emigrants from the Julian March region. While a part of this community identified with the Yugoslav diaspora, another segment of it remained autonomous.
