Slovenske izseljenke v Združenih državah Amerike : diplomsko delo

Spahić, Mateo (author), Repe, Božo (mentor)

Diplomska naloga obravnava slovenske izseljenke, ki so zapustile domovino in odšle v Združene države Amerike v iskanju novih priložnosti. V okviru posameznih zgodb je pojasnjeno, zakaj so se odločile za ta korak in kakšen je bil odziv v domovini. Po prilagoditvi na novo okolje so čutile potrebo po ustanovitvi skupnih organizacij, ki bi jih povezovale na različnih področjih in v katerih bi prostovoljno s humanitarno pomočjo pomagale ljudem in institucijam v Združenih državah Amerike in na Slovenskem. Diplomska naloga tako opisuje dve poglavitni ženski organizaciji, in sicer Slovensko žensko zvezo in Progresivne Slovenke Amerike. Diplomska naloga se osredotoča tudi na ženske, ki so po prihodu v Združene države Amerike pustile pečat na kulturnem, izobraževalnem in zabavnem področju.

Abstract

Subject of this thesis are Slovenian women who emigrated to the USA in search of new possibilities. Through several stories reasons for their emigration is explained, as well as echoes of their emigrations in their homeland. Shortly after adjustment to the new environment they felt the need to establish common organizations to bring them together in different areas. One of their goals was also to help people and institutions in the USA and Slovenian lands through volunteer humanitarian work. Focus of this thesis is on two of the main Slovenian women associations in the USA, namely Slovenian Women´s Union of America (Slovenska ženska zveza) and Progressive Slovene Women of America (Progresivne Slovenke Amerike).
