IZSELJEVANJE IZ BENEŠKE SLOVENIJE V SEVERNO AMERIKO NA ZAČETKU 20. STOLETJA NA PODLAGI LADIJSKIH POTNIŠKIH SEZNAMOV. (Slovenian)

Emigration from Venetian Slovenia to North America at the Beginning of the 20^th Century on the Basis of Passenger Lists. (English)

The paper discusses emigration from Venetian Slovenia to the USA in the early decades of the 20th century on the basis of passenger lists compiled by the US immigration authorities. It illustrates the dynamic and structural characteristics of the movements and the typological change from seasonal continental to transatlantic labour migration. The overseas migration was also intended to be temporary and was part of the conservative socio-economic strategies of the rural communities. However, in many cases it led to the permanent settling of the emigrants in the USA. This marked the beginning of permanent emigration from Venetian Slovenia and introduced the process of depopulation of the region. The logistical aspects and the role of social networks in the migration and settlement process are discussed as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Avtor izseljevanje iz Beneške Slovenije v ZDA v prvih desetletjih 20. stoletja analizira na podlagi seznamov ladijskih potnikov, ki so jih v vstopnih pristaniščih sestavljale ameriške oblasti. Razpravlja o dinamičnih in strukturnih vidikih ter pomenu preusmerjanja od kontinentalnih k atlantskim delovnim migracijam, ki so delno ohranjale začasno naravo in konzervativno ekonomsko vlogo, večinoma pa prehajale v trajno naselitev izseljencev v Ameriki. Opozarja na prelomni značaj pojava, s katerim se je začelo stalno izseljevanje iz beneškoslovenskih dolin in prikazuje logistična in socialna stališča ter vlogo družbenih mrež, ki so delovale kot oporni sistem izseljevanja in ohranjanja čezoceanskih vezi.
