Abstract

The article gives a critical analysis of the political activities of the Slovenian politician and writer Etbin Kristan (1867–1953), especially during his long stay in the United States. Mention is made of his role as editor of the journal Cankarjev glasnik (Cleveland) and as president of the Slovene-American National Council. Kristan's view on nationality (something natural which should not be carried to hatred of others), his affirmative stance towards involvement in the war against fascism, his collaboration with other Yugoslav groups in the United States, and his concept of Yugoslav federalism are discussed.
