ZAGREB, February 7, 2018 – The Croatian Heritage Foundation, whose acronym in Croatian is HMI, on Wednesday launched the latest edition of its annual publication, the Croatian Emigrant Almanac.
The 448-page 2018 edition also offers summaries in English and Spanish.
The latest edition focuses on the interactive effects of digital media on the Croatian Diaspora and on the large-scale departure of young people from Croatia’s Slavonia region and from the northern part of Bosnia and Herzegovna.
The HMI describes its Croatian Emigrant Almanac as “a multi-purpose serial publication, available in printed and electronic form that analytically follows the social and cultural activities of the Croatian nation in the Homeland and the Emigration.”
“With this demanding series of publications the Croatian Heritage Foundation endeavours to first and foremost encourage cultural exchange between the Croatian emigration and the Homeland. The decision of the Croatian Emigrant Almanac’s publisher to print the Almanac in a trilingual form (Croatian, English and Spanish) is, therefore, understandable in order to bridge the language barrier and thereby be accessible to people of Croatian extraction from fifty countries across the globe that no longer use the Croatian language but rather that of their domicile country.”
