WE WOULD EVEN BECOME CHINESE, IF ONLY THEY WOULD LET US BE: (RE)CONSTRUCTION OF ETHNIC IDENTITY OF GERMANS IN VOJVODINA

Abstract

Distinguished readers, the text before you has two major goals. The first one is to inform you on motives which determined my interest to deal with questions of ethnic identity of Vojvodina Germans in this period of my research and scientific activity. The other is to briefly present results of my current research of ethnic identity of German national minority in Vojvodina, concisely display the most important directions which defined its theoretical and methodological frame, and put forward the basic course of collection of empirical data in the field.
