Ilegalne migracije iz hrvaškega dela Istre med letoma 1945 in 1968

The author analyses illegal emigration from the Croatian part of Istria from the end of World War II to the late1960s. The migrations mentioned in the article came to light through s oral histories and a small number of archives. Immediately after 1945 the illegal migrations were the result of the political and economic situation, but later have the reasons were primarily economic. The author notes that the exodus and the illegal immigration are two processes which were taking place independently of each other. He also points out that there is very little written or oral material about illegal immigration before the beginning of the 21th century. There is also no literature on this topic and the archives remain unexplored.Avtor v članku obravnava ilegalno izseljevanje iz hrvaškega dela Istre od konca druge svetovne vojne do konca šestdesetih let 20. stoletja. Migracije, ki jih v članku obravnava s pomočjo metode ustne zgodovine in jih dopolnjuje z maloštevilnim arhivskim gradivom, so bile po letu 1945 posledica političnega in ekonomskega stanja, pozneje pa so prevladovali predvsem ekonomski motivi. Opozarja, da je treba razlikovati med eksodusom in ilegalnim izseljevanjem, dvema procesoma, ki sta se odvijala neodvisno eden od drugega. Poudari, da se je o ilegalnem izseljevanju vse do začetka 21. stoletja zelo malo govorilo in pisalo, prav tako o tej temi ni literature, neraziskano pa je tudi arhivsko gradivo
