French, Yugoslav or Something Else?

Jadranka Čačić ; Institut za migracije i narodnosti, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

Although everyday life estranges the immigrant from his homeland, in his consciousness he continuously returns to it. The insecurity of their socio-economic position in the host country and undetermined plans for return have a different effect on first and second generation of Yugoslav migrants in Alsace and Lorraine. While the first generation looks back with nostalgia to Yugoslavia, the second continuously seeks its identity in French society, not finding true support for this either in French or Yugoslav society. Identifying itself as Yugoslav, as this population grows up it nevertheless becomes more remote from what is basic for maintaining such a national identity – i.e. from the knowledge and practice of the culture of origin.
