Anthropological essay by Sara Radosavljević.
“The Erasure can be further understood considering the ideological change towards embracing a European identity in opposition to the “Balkan” or Yugoslav one. Distancing Yugoslavian history from Slovenia’s national identity provided a foundation for the exclusionary legislation implemented by Slovenian authoritative entities. Ethnic identity in that context could be seen as a convenient and superficial justification for these policies (Gornik, 2019).”
