The ethnographic image of Romania in the vision of the representatives of the Croatian anthropological school between 1938 and 1944

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to underline the scientific Croatian point of view over the Romanian people and Romanian state. First of all this study explain the Croatian perception about cultural and historic values of the Romanian nation and on the other hand the direct and real travellers perception upon interbelic Romanian society with its peculiarities and tendencies. Both Croatian ethnographs are old connoisseurs of Romanian history and traditions but one of them is a Special Envoy of the National Croatian State and his mission was the underline the Romanian national spirit and its values. On the other side Messne Sporsić travel description from Belgrade to Ankara through Romania and Bulgaria is like a picture of an neorealist painter which describe into black and white the Romanian national spirit and Bucharest manners on the fourth decade of the XX century. Both essays contain of course many appreciation, criticims and oppinions through each author have tried to provide his personal impresions for the Croatian readers. But the Croats monographers have succeed to describe a realistic spatial and temporal projection about a nation and close proximity state whose history and policy seldom interrelated with the Croatian state.
