Yugoslav Migrant Workers' Clubs in Western Europe in the 1970s

Summary/Abstract: The economic troubles in Yugoslavia in the 1960s and 1970s forced hundreds of thousands of Yugoslav citizens to emigrate to Western Europe. Yugoslav migrant workers' associations in Western European countries played an important role in their social life in the 1970s. The clubs organized various cultural and sport activities and supported integration of Yugoslav immigrants into the host societies. Another important task of Yugoslav clubs in Western European countries was to inform Yugoslav migrant workers about the situation in Yugoslavia. Yugoslav diplomats supported the activities of the clubs of Yugoslav migrant workers since they were perceived as an efficient tool for minimizing the influence of Yugoslav political emigrants on Yugoslav ,,Gastarbeiter" in Western Europe. The study is based on the research carried out in the Archive of Yugoslavia (Arhiv Jugoslavije).
