Abstract

[The chapter focuses on the Croatian historian and geographer Filip Lukas, who since the mid-1920s promulgated a tempting historical-geographical narrative that aimed at deconstructing the Yugoslav state. Lukas denied Yugoslavia a future based on what he and other Croatian nationalists saw as irreconcilable geographical and cultural tensions within it. Recognizing the racial and linguistic similarity among the South Slavs—primarily Serbs and Croats—Lukas pointed to culture as the main factor separating them, and elaborated on the intrinsic connection between the land and the national culture and “spirit.” Duančić points beyond the Serbo-Croatian nationalist strife and examines a scientific-political conflict between various groups of Croatian nationalists that were manifested in the increasingly opposing conclusions of geography and ethnology regarding the relationship between the South Slavs.]
