Na rubu revolucije - studenti '71.
This is the first book that comprehensively addresses the phenomenon of Croatian students and their role in the Croatian Spring. Students, along with the reform wing of the League of Communists and Matica Hrvatska, were one of the three pillars of the Cro
After 1968, students were more encouraged and more sensitive to politics than ever before. Times had changed, the land of peasants and a very narrow elite became a place where you could study even if you were poor. The demographic shock of the increase in the number of students in the 1960s made students all over the world more socially and politically important than ever before in history.
The book also provides a broader political context for student events – from the Eighth Congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia in 1964, through the overthrow of Ranković in 1966, the Declaration on the Name and Position of the Croatian Language in 1967, the student movements of 1968, international relations and the position of the SFRY, all the way to the collapse in Karađorđevo.
Every generation, if it is truly revolutionary, carries with it the truth about the historical moment in which it finds itself, as well as the possibility of achieving a new social relationship, but every such generation is accompanied by intoxication with its own truth. The focus of interest is, however, on an exceptional generation of students in Croatia, and the main protagonists of these dramatic events (Dražen Budiša, Ivan Zvonimir Čičak...) also speak in this book.
