This file consists of five documents with a time coverage from approximately 1840 to 1983. None of these can be considered as comprehensive works dealing with all of Croatia as of the 1990s. The closest to a general survey of the region is the study of southwest Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Dalmatia made by the Croatian economist Rudolf Bićanić in 1935. This work provides much ethnographic data but is restricted to the period of the author's field work (1935). Community studies of the town of Milograd (a pseudonym), a medium-sized industrial town in the Slavonian region of Croatia are provided by Gilliland. The first discusses family values in terms of various aspects of the ethnography (e.g., ritual occasions, courtship and marriage, etc.). The second (written under Olsen) concentrates on socio-economic changes in household structure, particularly in relation to authority and in patterns of conflict and sharing. Bennett, a social anthropologist, presents a detailed study of socio-cultural change in the village of Sutivan on Brac Island on the Dalmatian littoral in Croatia. This study, based on the author's field work in 1970-1971, provides much cultural data on the population of this island. The final document in the Croatia file by Olga Supek, based on field work in 1977-1980, presents a general discussion of the relationship of Mardi Gras (carnival) to social stability and/or instability and change
