ЕТНИЧКИ ИДЕНТИТЕТ И ТРАДИЦИЈА
ETHNIC IDENTITY AND TRADITION

From classical standpoint in ethnology, ethnos was treated as a homogeneous group, and many social factors that influence forming of ethnic consciousness were neglected. The author conducted area-research in Krajina in 1994/5. She analyzed three generations of Serbian people in Krajina and presented important differences between their ethnic viewpoints, explaining them in terms of many social changes that marked Yugoslavia. She is trying to point to the complexity of traditional culture and to argue against any simplified (mainly global) approach.
