The discussion will be moderated by Assistant Professor Irena Ipšić, PhD.

The presentation will be held on Friday, 25 March 2022, at 18:00 hours in the Congress Hall ‘Salocha’ in the Student Dormitory, at the address Marka Marojice 2b.

Although it was published during 2021, due to circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this is the book’s first presentation.

In its essence, this book brings the first systematic synthesis of historical and demographic changes in the territory of Dalmatia in the 19th century. Besides an analysis of the crucial political, social and economic events, the book is full of qualitative and quantitative data and indicators about inhabitants, their structures and changes, and it will certainly have an important place in university teaching of history and Croatian historiography.

Do join us and learn more about this valuable book that delves deep into the history of Dalmatia, researches our roots and leaves a trace about it for the future. We are looking forward to your attendance!
