A Survey of Croatian and the World's Ethnology (Lexicon, Part II)

Silvio Braica ; Etnografski muzej Split

Abstract

Having published Croatian Ethnographical and Ethnological Dictionary in the last issue of Ethnologica Dalmatica (Braica, 1999), we found it appropriate to publish a list of authors who had been creating Croatian and the world's ethnology (anthropology). Just like the above-mentioned Dictionary, this Lexicon has plenty of understatements, incomplete data and inadequate criticism. However, we must agree that someone had to do this job, since the decades of waiting and hesitating, in the name of criticism and other excuses, can only do harm to the profession. It may sound incredible, but it seems that the scientific basis of Croatian ethnology is being established only in the third millennium. I hope this quite haphazard selection of names would stimulate some productive discussions and fundamental investigations, like the Dictionary has partly done.
