The paper presents the Memorandum-Request from 1912 by Osman-bey Pašić, a landowner from Bijeljina, addressed to the Minister of Finance of Bilinski. The Memorandum highlighted numerous irregularities and difficulties encountered by Bosniak landowners and Bosniaks in Semberia. Particularly pointed out was the problem of the relationship between serfs (čifčije) and landowners, where the expression of disregard for obligations by serfs, as well as the usurpation of property occurred. In this way, the economic status of landowners has largely diminished. In addition, the security, religious, political and social rights of Bosniaks in this area were significantly compromised. So, the relation of the agas - landowners and serfs was not only of a commercial nature, but also of a national-political one. In such procedures, the authorities of Bijeljina did not function adequately, and in the memorandum minister Bilinski was asked to intervene, in order for the government to start acting. This document is only one of documents confirming all the complexity and stratification of agrarian relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina during this period, which were particularly complex in the area of Semberija.

The protests that affected the student population in 1968 around the world did not go beyond Yugoslavia. The first Belgrade, and then the students of other Yugoslav universities, launched demonstrations and highlighted the demands for more equitable relations in society. Student demonstrations in Yugoslavia that erupted in June 1968, were a series of public demonstrations and strikes and other protest actions that took place at universities in Yugoslavia, with special emphasis on demonstrations of students from the Belgrade University. The year 1968 is a symbol of revolution and historical change in society, and student revolutionary mood, mini-revolution, demonstrations, riots and dissatisfaction spread from the United States to Europe, and from Paris through Prague to Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana and Sarajevo. Student dissatisfaction was initiated by the inefficiency of the implementation of economic and social reform, and the decline in the standard of living not only of the broader strata of society, which had a negative impact on the student population. During the student mini-revolution, they were trying to gain for their ideals the working class, convincing them in equal interests and the only way to the desired goal, but without success. In this connection, this paper seeks to draw on the basis of the press (Oslobodjenje and Front Freedom) and letters and telegrams addressed to the Union of Students of the Belgrade University to demonstrate that the employees of the company and mine in the Tuzla region reacted to these student demonstrations in Belgrade, then the schools, college students and others. By holding a meeting of working collectives, choirs, then sending letters and telegrams, they condemned the actions of students, but also gave full support to Tito in building a self-managing socialist society.

This paper follows the development of the Children’s Department, established as a separate unit with a reading room for children only in 2012, when the Library moved to new library space. The establishment of the Children’s Department at the Public Library “Đura Jakšić” brought new priorities, primarily activities to promote books and reading in children and continuous implementation of innovations in the work with the youngest readers. The paper presents the results of a survey of the attitudes of elementary school students in Petrovac na Mlavi towards the library in general. Some specific activities that the Library undertakes to promote books and reading in the youngest readers are also presented. The goal of every library activity should be permanent education of the population, nurturing national specifics, as well as the assistance in the integration into the global information flows. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to start the affirmation of books and reading in a timely manner, with the youngest users. Therefore, the importance of the activities of the Children’s Department is emphasized, because: “A child who reads will be an adult who thinks.”

The aim of this paper is to show how Ling Shuhua (凌叔华 , 1900‒1990) developed her literary career as a feminist writer in unfavorable environments, and to point to the strategies she used in order to adapt to the given circumstances. Instead of openly rebelling against the patriarchy and tradition, Ling Shuhua wrote stories in a style specific for classical literature which was unpopular at the time because of the efforts of the community to break with tradition, but with an ironic perspective on the flaws of the patriarchal traditional society. By doing so, she fulfilled the expectations of society, i.e. to write as an educated bourgeois lady, but at the same time succeeded in her intention to write in the name of silent female voices in China. On the other hand, she wrote her autobiography Ancient Melodies in English and, encouraged by Virginia Woolf (1882‒1941), published it in Great Britain. The language she used in this book and the manner in which she portrayed her childhood show that Ling Shuhua agreed to exotify herself in to order to please English readers and enter the foreign market, while simultaneously presenting her feminist views in another effort to establish herself as a feminist writer, this time in a foreign country.
