This article contributes to the burgeoning scholarship on the intersection of gender and religious faith and practice and engages with new interpretations of the feminisation thesis. Specifically, it sheds light on French Catholic masculinities through a unique body of sources, letters written by soldiers, lay and religious, to the Carmel of Lisieu...
This chapter explores the different but complementary approaches I apply when teaching about war, ethnic cleansing, and genocide in the twentieth century. Some of the potential pitfalls in courses dealing with these topics are oversimplification or trivialisation, instrumentalisation, and politicisation. The historiography of these subjects is so c...
The historiography of the Second World War in Yugoslavia rests on the dichotomous resistance/collaboration paradigm pitting “Yugoslav” resisters against extreme nationalist collaborators. This historiography also presents us with a Balkanist interpretation of the war as exceptionally savage and brutal. The collapse of Yugoslavia led to the collapse...
Prvi hrvatski svećenici došli su u Australiju tijekom 1950-ih, a danas na ovom kontinentu aktivno djeluje četrnaest hrvatskih katoličkih župa i centara. Među njima je sedam centara koje vode redovnici franjevačkih provincija Bosne Srebrene te sv. Ćirila i Metoda: Blacktown, Summer Hill i St Johns Park u Sydneyu, zatim Newcastle, Brisbane, Canberra...
This article argues that Europe's seeming inability to escape from the divisive legacy of World War II is connected to the way in which the war is conceptualized almost everywhere and by almost everyone—not just by the public and politicians, but by professional historians as well. The underlying problem we identify is the dominance of a gendered r...
This article discusses the devotion of French prisoners of war and requisitioned workers to St Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897) in the period 1940–1945. Soon after her death Thérèse, who was canonized in 1925, attracted millions of devotees internationally. The material under review reveals that the example of Thérèse was both inspirational and conso...
This article argues that a re-reading of Un condamné à mort s’est échappé (1956), directed by Robert Bresson, is timely because of its sophisticated insight into the nature of resistance, how it came about, and how it was sustained in daily life. Much Bresson criticism focuses almost exclusively on the visual quality of his films and the timelessne...
The editors assert that this book brings together the latest scholarship on Yugoslavia to address ‘key issues and controversies’. We are promised more ‘history’ to counterbalance the emphasis in most works on Yugoslavia published since the 1990s on the immediate causes of its collapse, coherence across the chapters with the themes of nationalism an...
This article uses a comparative transnational model for a study of women's resistance in Yugoslavia, with particular reference to the Independent State of Croatia. It challenges the dominant paradigm of active resistance in Hitler's Europe as a largely masculine and military activity. Historians have long recognised the contribution of women to res...

Christians and Conservatives in twentieth-century France - Volume 39 Issue 3 - Vesna Drapac
King Alexander of Yugoslavia was assassinated along with the French Foreign Minister, Louis Barthou, in Marseille in October 1934 at the beginning of a state visit to France. Emigré Croatian and Macedonian separatist groups—the Ustaša and the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation (IMRO)—planned and carried out the assassination. The King's...
