Bennett, Linda A. 1987.* "Slovene-Americans in Washington, D. C. : A case of optional ethnicity," SS 8/2: 21-30.
Bennett, Linda A. 1987: "Slovene-Americans in Washington, D.C.: a case of optional ethnicity" This community is an interesting case of ethnic identity preservation. The ethnic Slovenes are relatively small group (some 800-900 people), but are very well organized. Most of them migrated here after World War II. The organizational structure of the community is described. The preservation of Slovene ethnic identity is shown to be a matter of personal choice.

Type: Article
Paternost, Joseph. 1994.* "Symbols, slogans and identity in the Slovene search for sovereignty, 1987-1991," SS 14/1: 51-68.
Paternost, Joseph 1994: "Symbols, slogans and identity in the Slovene search for sovereignty" The article aims to identify the usage of some important linguistic symbols used by Slovenes between 1987 and 1991 in their search for their `true' identity. Emphasis is on (1) geographical orientation (e.g., Evropa, Srboslavija; Triglav, Alpe, sever, jug) and (2) sociocultural aspects of change (e.g., variations on proletarci vseh dežel, združite se, and references to economics and language). It is concluded that symbols of this kind are almost essential and are `pliable.'

Title: Slovenia today: A comment
Subject Headings: Culture; Identity; Nationalism
Publication: PSS
Volume: 1975
Number:
Year: 1975
Type: Article
Rogel, Carole. 1975.* "Slovenia today: A comment," PSS 1975: 127-131.
Rogel, Carole 1975: "Slovenia today: A comment" The author summarizes and responds to papers by Velikonja, Hočevar, and Novak. She describes Velikonja's thesis that the cultural network is more important in defining Slovene national identity than administrative territorial boundaries as "provocative but romantic." She agrees with Hočevar's and Novak's emphasis on the importance of Slovene efforts to create a literate populace. One important topic missing from all three papers is Slovene political development, which the author discusses briefly.

The examples are Rihard Jakopič, OHO land art; Emerik Bernard; and Marjetica Potrč.

Title: Louis Adamic and Slovene Identity
Subject Headings: Identity; Language; Literature
Publication: SS

Year: 1997
Type: Article
Petrič, Jerneja. 1997.* "Louis Adamic and Slovene Identity," SS 19/1-2:121-30.
The article focuses on the reaction of Louis Adamic to the polemic of 1932, occasioned by his return to his homeland and Oton Župančič's article "Adamic and Slovenehood," published in the journal Ljubljanski zvon. The author argues that it was Adamic's Slovenehood, which he himself downplayed, that permitted him to become a recognized American author.
