Емигрантска периодика Срба у Јужној Африци од 1945. до 1968. године
Serbian Emigrant Periodicals in South Africa From 1945. to 1968.

Summary/Abstract: After WWII, the number of Serbs in South Africa increased insignificantly. The colony had been enlarged solely by the officers of the Royal Yugoslav Army who served in this area during the war. Many of them never returned to their fatherland due to the political changes that occurred after the war in Yugoslavia. Soon political emigrants inhabited South Africa as well. The majority of Serbs that found themselves in exile there were anticommunists. They founded „Royal Yugoslav Combatants’ Association „Drazha Mihailovich“ South Africa“ in 1949 and started publishing their magazine. In this work the author represented the results of research that he had conducted in the South African Republic, in the State Archive of Pretoria, the City Library of Johannesburg, the Archive and Library of the Serbian Orthodox parish in Johannesburg and the private archives of Babic family in Johannesburg. Certain publications had been analyzed at Hilandar Monastery on Mount Athos. In the Serbian Libraries only a few editions of journals and magazines from Africa can be found. The author further enlisted and represented a pretty scattered periodicals, as yet practically unknown to Serbian academic publishing. The work also embraced the testimonies and statements encountered in Johannesburg which primarily dealt with the emigrant circumstances and conditions of living, as well as the data on certain persons whose only short biographies have been published so far. The first magazine was „Bilten“ (The Bulletin), later renamed to „Razvigor“ and it had been published twice a month, from 1950 to 1968, its editors being Nenad Zhakula and Slavko Kojic. Certain authors signed their texts with authentic name and surname while others wrote under a pseudonym. „Nasa stvarnost“ (Our Reality) had been the second Serbian emigrant magazine, founded by Dr. Vladislav Stakic. The magazine had a political character and it addressed the internal affairs in Yugoslavia between the two World Wars. „Razvigor“ dealt with various subjects: emigration, sessions, activities and celebrations of the Association „Drazha Mihailovich“.
