  • Book Review Tanja Đurić Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek
    Book review Tanja Đurić Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Faculty of Education, Osijek SIČANSKE RIČI [SIČE WORDS] BY EMINA BERBIĆ KOLAR AND LJILJANA KOLENIĆ The book Sičanske riči was published in 2014 by the Faculty of Education, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. It was written by the accomplished linguists and professors Ljiljana Kolenić from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek and Emina Berbić Kolar from the Faculty of Education in Osijek. The authors have already produced numerous scientific papers and contributions to Croatian dialectology. The book is not only intended for linguists and dialectologists, but also for a wider audience interested in linguistic diversity and non-standard language. Sičanske riči or Siče words are in fact the words of native speakers of the little village of Siče in Brod-Posavina county, Croatia. The Siče vernacular is protected and included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list for Croatia. It belongs to, according to the authors, a bigger language group called the Slavonian dialect, and the Slavonian dialect belongs to the most widespread Croatian dialect, the Shtokavian dialect. At the time of omnipresent globalisation, vernaculars are prone to extinction, which is why this book plays an important role in preserving the intangible cultural heritage and preventing dialect extinction. The book contains three hundred and eighteen pages which include text, five geographical and dialectological maps, one table, one graph and one photograph. Recent scientific studies do not point to many authors and works that deal in as much detail with the Slavonian dialect issue in the contemporary world as Sičanske riči does.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

I sat toward the front of the theater, spellbound. They sang in a clear, sometimes grating tone that I had never heard before, in a language I did not understand. After their first song, they announced themselves to be Slavei, Wesleyan’s only Eastern-European a cappella group. It would be another year before I auditioned for and joined Slavei, but I already knew that this music was special. Three years later, during my senior fall at Wesleyan, I sang with Slavei for a professional vocalist of Bulgarian music named Eva Salina, whom we had brought in for a workshop.
