Dinko Tomašić Collection

The records of Croatian-American sociologist Dinko Tomašić are deposited at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, Stanford University. In accordance with its own themes and periodization, it covers Tomašić's public work after the Second World War, when he settled in the United States as a political émigré. The collection testifies to Tomašić's sociological research, in which he critically examined political and social phenomena of post-war communist society in Croatia and Yugoslavia. The main thesis of Tomašić's sociological theory was that the revolutionary transformation of society and the huge growth of the party-state’s power destroyed political, economic, social and cultural pluralism in the public life of the Yugoslav nations. Based on his sociological methods, and making use of results the fields of ethnography and anthropology, he believed that the source of the Yugoslav revolution derived from the specific Dinaric culture, which belonged to economically passive territories, regions where the Partisan movement secured the great support, such as Montenegro, Dalmatia, Lika, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

克罗地亚裔美国社会学家丁科·托马什奇（Dinko Tomašić）的档案资料存放在斯坦福大学胡佛研究所图书馆与档案馆。该档案资料按照其自身主题和分期，涵盖了托马什奇在第二次世界大战后作为政治流亡者定居美国期间的公共工作。该收藏见证了托马什奇的社会学研究，其中他批判性地审视了战后克罗地亚和南斯拉夫共产主义社会的政治和社会现象。托马什奇社会学理论的主要论点是，社会的革命性变革以及党国权力的巨大增长，摧毁了南斯拉夫民族公共生活中的政治、经济、社会和文化多元性。基于他的社会学方法，并利用民族志和人类学领域的研究成果，他认为南斯拉夫革命的根源源于特定的迪纳里克文化，该文化属于经济被动地区，即游击队运动获得广泛支持的地区，如黑山、达尔马提亚、利卡、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那。
