Sažetak
Antun Radić was a sociologist, politician and publicist who devoted his entire life to the enlightenment of peasants and the struggle for their citizens’ rights. Himself a product of the village environment of Trebarjevo Desno in the Upper Posavina area of Sisak, he had first-hand knowledge of the way of life and needs of peasantry and wanted to use his knowledge to help peasants grasp the Croatian socio-political reality of that time. Even though he was a teacher by occupation, his life was marked by cultural, scientific and journalistic contributions as a member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, where he was the editor of the Journal for Folk Life and Customs of South Slavs, and the Matica hrvatska (Central Croatian Cultural and Publishing Society). In 1899 he established the journal Dom which helped advance among the peasantry the idea of their cultural and political role within the body of the Croatian people and prepare fertile ground for the establishment of the Croatian People’s Peasant Party (HPSS), which actively represented their political interests after the National Movement of 1903 subsided. He won distinction with his genuine patriotism which could only by relying on united domestic forces make a stand against foreign domination and give birth to new solutions for the Croat question in the 20th century.
