YOUTH AND TRANSITION IN CROATIA

O knjizi YOUTH AND TRANSITION IN CROATIA

I ask the reader to try and imagine what the sociological atlas or at least a map of Croatia today would look like, if someone were to draw it. It seems to me that it would be much like a map of the Antarctic. What I mean is that continent is visualized as a large white surface underneath, which the true relief of land is hidden. Croatia would not quite resemble a compact white surface, but more large white patches, which would make its relief only partially visible.
What would these patches represent? They would be the social phenomena on which we have no or very little scientific empirical data. In other words, where there was no systematic sociological research we would be faced only with whiteness.
