Imaginea românilor și sârbilor în vechile sociografii publicate între 1880 și 1940
The image of Romanians and Serbs in old sociographies published between 1880 and 1940

Summary/Abstract: From eight travel journals that were written between 1880 și 1940 we chose only six, which, in our opinion, can offer relevant information concerning the mentalities and how was understood and presented in that time Romanian and Serbian nations within Romanian and Serbian mentalities. Each book represent itself a historic and cultural micro‐monograph between 1880 and 1940. The manner in which these are presented in Romanian sociographs is quite different but, the conclusions are somehow a real fondness . We can observe a Romanian admiration about the Serbian endless struggle against Ottoman Empire and after during the First World War. The Romanian authors constantly remember the ancient historic, cultural and political ties between Serbs and Romanian. Concerning the Serbs image within Romanian mentalitaty ascertain that Serbs nation is presented in a favorable light if we think at the end of XIX and the beginning of XXth century and these perception hasn’t anything to do the authors only with the political, religious and social realities of the time. The negative image of Romanian people into Serbian mentality is doubled even by their custom and traditions especially underlined by some authors . Concerning these Serbian attitude on Romanian population from Timok region we can say that underline the ticklish and never solved problem of the ethnic and religious minorities civil rights in Serbia before and after the Versailles and even Moscow politic and diplomatic treaties.
