The Croatian Community on the Territory of Today's Montenegrin Coast in Croatian Historiography
Lovorka ČORALIĆ
Abstract
In the introductory part of the paper the author indicates the
particularities of historical development of certain parts of
today's Montenegrin coastal area, which were important for
preserving the historical and cultural heritage of Croats in these parts. In the paper there is an attempt to present the
situation in historiography, the degree of historical analysis of
the area from Boka to Bojana, as well as the historical
heritage of Croats in Bokelj, Montenegrin and Serbian
historiography, and in the works of historians from the
Republic of Croatia. Due to the extensiveness of the topic the
research includes historiographical works dealing with the
history of today's Montenegrin coast until the end of the 18th
century. It is pointed out that in the Croatian scientific public,
especially in the last decades, the interest for the area south
of Prevlaka has been reduced to the odd individual example
of research. The author thus gives some possible guidelines
for future research of the Croatian component in the history
of these parts.
