Slovene and Yugoslav society in the 1970s had a dual aspect: while the Communist authorities restricted the rights of its citizens, people increasingly turned to the Western way of life. This period saw the appearance of the prose works for young people Avtomoto mravlje (Driver Ant, 1975) by Jože Snoj and Stopinje po zraku (Footprints in the Air, 1977) by Leopold Suhodolčan, which thematise social regimes and through their nonconformist representations open up questions of subversiveness in Slovene youth literature.
