Description
Summary:In his recent study Nevenko Bartulin seeks to “trace the intellectual and/or ideological origins and the wartime articulation and propagation” of Ustasha ideas about ethnolinguistic origins, racial anthropology, and race theory. His study challenges existing historiographical interpretations concerning the role of racial ideology in the Independent State of Croatia. Those interpretations have tended to view the Ustasha movement's ideas as subordinate to other political aims, lacking in any kind of consistency, or adopted wholesale from National Socialist biological concepts. The author argues instead that Ustasha racial notions constituted a far more coherent set of ideas than scholars have previously assumed.
