Let us first introduce ourselves and explain the chain of events that has led to this moment. Hans Storhaug, the first and only editor of the AEMI Journal for 15 years, proposed in late January that the Slovenian Migration Institute should take over the editorship of the Journal as it has many decades of experience in editing and publishing its own academic journal, Two Homelands: Migration Studies. The new AEMI board agreed. After careful consideration at the Institute, three editors were named along with a mentor to supervise their work. The new editors Dr. Klara Kožar Rosulnik, Špela Kastelic, MA, and Maja Gostič, MA are working closely together with their supervisor Dr. Janja Žitnik Serafin, who has 30 years of experience as editor of academic journals and monographs. Besides, as Mr. Hans Storhaug pointed out in his foreword published in AEMI Journal 1 (2003), “[...] it was Janja Žitnik, research consultant at the Slovene Centre for Migration Studies, who at the annual meeting in Stavanger in 2002, formally proposed to the General Assembly that AEMI should publish its own journal. Her idea was unanimously supported and adopted, and this is the result.” The decision on the 2017–2018 double issue was made by the new AEMI board in April 2018. The issue is based on a selection of papers presented at the 26th AEMI Conference in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) in 2016, and those presented at the 27th AEMI Conference in Husum (Germany) in 2017. The focus of the Santiago conference was on European migrant diasporas and cultural identities, whereas the theme of the Husum conference was ‘At home or alienated’ – Migrants and receiving countries between integration and parallel society, between ‘culture of welcome’ and xenophobia. The papers from the Santiago conference were selected and partly edited by Hans Storhaug, while the papers from Husum were selected and edited by the new editors. The last article in this issue is from the conference in Turin in 2015. Furthermore, we would like to address some of the changes that are coming with the new editorship. As Mr. Hans Storhaug pointed out repeatedly over the years of his editing of the Journal, there has been a great need for instructions for authors that would help them prepare their articles. It is necessary to adopt a uniform citation style and general guidelines that should be followed consistently throughout the Journal. Hence, we are publishing “Instructions for Authors” in this double issue and – hopefully – on the AEMI webpage. Moreover, we have set some additional criteria (e.g. the maximum length of the text, adequate level of English) for the selection of articles for publication. As there were no instructions available at the time when authors of this double issue were preparing their articles, we took the liberty of harmonizing the citation style of the Husum papers with the new guidelines as 6 AEMI JOURNAL 2017–2018 much as possible. It was a bit more difficult with the Santiago papers as they were already edited by the previous editor, so we made a compromise there and edited those articles in a more limited way. Perhaps we should also clarify the structure of this double issue compared to the previous ones. As we have not received the protocols of the last two AEMI conferences and as the AEMI board agreed that the protocol of each conference should be available on the AEMI webpage, we decided not to insist on publishing the conference protocols in this or the future volumes of the Journal. For this reason, we are only publishing – besides the selected papers – both conference programs and the welcome speeches from the Husum conference that were obtained from their authors specifically for the purpose of their publication. It has been a great challenge as well as a privilege to take on the new editorship of the AEMI Journal. Special thanks go to Dr. Patrick Fitzgerald for his voluntary proofreading that has been ever so helpful to us. And finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Hans Storhaug for all the hard work he has done with the Journal throughout these past 15 years. As we admitted in one of our letters to the Board, we probably will not be able to meet the standards he has set but we will certainly try our best.

  • J. A. G. Ardila* Metapragmatic First-Order Politeness in Peninsular
    199 J. A. G. Ardila* Metapragmatic First-Order Politeness in Peninsular Spanish Abstract Research on Spanish politeness has developed dramatically in the past decade. One of the most infl uential theses regarding Spanish politeness was posited by Hickey (1991), who, in comparing Spanish to English, concluded that Peninsular Spanish has a positive politeness model. Subsequently, a number of linguists have further compared politeness in Spain to politeness in Britain. In analysing countless samples of expressive politeness (i.e. requests, apologies, terms of address, etc.), these authors have come to the conclusion that positive politeness predominates in Spain. However, such critical tendencies ignore the latest trends in politeness studies: one year after the publication of Hickey´s (1991) essay, Watts et al. (1992) vindicated the need to discern fi rst-order politeness from second-order politeness, and put forward the relevance of metapragmatic discussions of politeness. Descriptivist assessments of Spanish politeness prevent linguists from attempting a metapragmatic methodology that help to determine where Spanish speakers stand in the politeness-impoliteness continuum. Nonetheless, current research on general politeness studies clearly envisages that this is a task that Spanish linguistics will need to fulfi l in the long run. This paper offers a metapragmatic examination of linguistic politeness in Spain, based on the data obtained from 100 informants in Extremadura, aged 14 to 20. The information drawn from the survey indicates that, whilst the informants are fully aware of the politeness norms they have been taught by their parents and teachers, their linguistic performance seldom abides by such parameters. * J.

  • Basques in the Americas from 1492 To1892: a Chronology
    Basques in the Americas From 1492 to1892: A Chronology “Spanish Conquistador” by Frederic Remington Stephen T. Bass Most Recent Addendum: May 2010 FOREWORD The Basques have been a successful minority for centuries, keeping their unique culture, physiology and language alive and distinct longer than any other Western European population. In addition, outside of the Basque homeland, their efforts in the development of the New World were instrumental in helping make the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America what they are today. Most history books, however, have generally referred to these early Basque adventurers either as Spanish or French. Rarely was the term “Basque” used to identify these pioneers. Recently, interested scholars have been much more definitive in their descriptions of the origins of these Argonauts. They have identified Basque fishermen, sailors, explorers, soldiers of fortune, settlers, clergymen, frontiersmen and politicians who were involved in the discovery and development of the Americas from before Columbus’ first voyage through colonization and beyond. This also includes generations of men and women of Basque descent born in these new lands. As examples, we now know that the first map to ever show the Americas was drawn by a Basque and that the first Thanksgiving meal shared in what was to become the United States was actually done so by Basques 25 years before the Pilgrims. We also now recognize that many familiar cities and features in the New World were named by early Basques. These facts and others are shared on the following pages in a chronological review of some, but by no means all, of the involvement and accomplishments of Basques in the exploration, development and settlement of the Americas.

The image on the cover was made by our grandfather in 1937, when he found his father dead after the Italian airplanes bombed Durango. Along with his mother and grandmother, he then had to leave the Basque Country for France. This work is not just about those who had to emigrate during the Spanish Civil War and live in exile. It is also about anyone who for any reason had to leave their homeland, but still maintains a connection to their home country and their identity.

Douglass, PhD Defining “Basques” Throughout recorded history, the status of Basques has remained ambiguous—at least as defined by outsiders. The Romans reported on a people known as the Vascones, inhabiting part of the present-day European homeland of the Basques—but only a part.1 There were also other Iberian tribes sharing the ill-defined territory and it was a corridor for peoples entering Iberia from the north, like the Celts and the Romans, as well as the Muslims who came from the south. Segments of all of these outsiders settled in the Basque area and even ruled parts of it for a time, providing their own cultural overlays. During the Middle Ages, the Basque Country was a liminal zone between the Gothic and Frankish realms in southwestern Europe, at times denounced by both as a land of mountain barbarians who raided civilized lowlanders.2 The only period in which the Basque Country as a whole was briefly under a single political jurisdiction was during a part of the reign of Navarrese King Sancho the Great (1004-1035).

  • LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.
