L’articolo analizza la rete di organizzazioni create nel Regno dei Serbi, croati e sloveni (più conosciuto come Jugoslavia dal 1929) per fornire aiuto ai profughi dalla Venezia Giulia. Si focalizza in particolare sui profughi dall’Istria ed esplora la relazione tra le pratiche di welfare e il processo di nation-building in atto nel paese.

This article looks at the network of organizations established in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (better known as Yugoslavia from 1929) to provide aid to refugees from the Julian March. It focuses mostly on refugees from Istria, and it investigates the relationship between welfare practices and the nation-building process unfolding in the country. In fact, while welfare practices provided material support, they also served the purpose of integrating refugees into the new State framework, as fully fledged citizens and loyal supporters of the central government. Refugees became engaged in organizations and actively negotiated their relationship with the main political actors. The article focuses on three sites: Zagreb (the lead urban center that hosted Istrian emigrants, where social issues were more acute), Sušak (the main gate through which refugees entered the country) and the southern regions, where the colonization project unfolded. These sites’ position affected the welfare practices promoted by assistance organizations. Finally, the article offers some insights into the gendered and generational dimension of welfare practices that supported the Istrian refugees.
