How to Appease One's Hunger in Exile
How to Appease One's Hunger in Exile

Summary/Abstract: Nine years after the outbreak of war in Croatia in 1991, it has become obvious that the refugee phenomenon is not a mere transitional and short-term social imbalance. The author utilises the ethnological momentum of "war ethnography", dealing with the ways refugees adapted their nutrition. Stimulus for more profound research come from the voices of protest in radio programmes for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees. Explanation of those protests are given by the other participants in the time of crisis, humanitarian workers, and by refugees themselves, confronted with the decision on whether to return to their former homes or to remain in their new communities which have demanded numerous compromises from them, including acceptance of changes in their nutrition. Combining these utterances, the author tries to evoke the times and the strategy of refugee diet.
