The status Jagoda Truhelka’s work in socialist Yugoslavia
Lucija Fosić
Abstract
This paper relies on the thesis that the selection of texts included in the lists of books required to be read as part of schooling was until the second half of the 20th century under strong political influence and that Jagoda Truhelka’s works were found to be inappropriate for her Christian and patriotic beliefs in the context of school reading
during the SFRY.
Truhelka put forward Christianity and patriotism as an ethical component of education and it was these efforts that caused her to fail to be included in any lists of required school reading published as part of curricula and syllabuses after mid-20th century (which were the object of research in this paper).
Ideologically, Truhelka’s works were incompatible with the Yugoslav ideological values, so she did not appear in any school reading lists before the 1990s at the time an independent Croatia was emerging, with her Golden Danes that combine Croatian patriotism and catholic Christian values.
