Emigration from Prekmurje in the Period Between 1934 and 1941 in the Eyes of Selected Newspapers

Magistrsko delo predstavlja izseljevanje iz Prekmurja, pri čemer se osredotoča na obdobje med 9. oktobrom 1934 in 6. aprilom 1941. Izseljevanje so Prekmurci dojemali kot eno izmed možnosti za boljši način življenja. Razlogi za izselitev so bili različni, prevladovali pa so ekonomski. Izseljevanje je postalo del vsakdana Prekmurcev in je kmalu preraslo okvire zgolj socialnega problema. Izseljenci so se med seboj razlikovali glede na kraj izselitve ter čas njihove odsotnosti. Izseljevanje je imelo nekatere pozitivne posledice, npr. večanje kupne moči prebivalstva, ter nekatere negativne posledice, kot je pojav nelegalne trgovine z devizami. Osnovo temu delu predstavlja pregled časopisnih člankov iz časnikov Jutro, Murska krajina, Slovenec in Mladi Prekmurec. Zaradi večje objektivnosti so ugotovitve podprte še s pomočjo strokovne literature.This master\u27s thesis presents the process of emigration from Prekmurje, focusing on the period between October 9 1934 and April 6 1941. The people of Prekmurje perceived emigration as one of the possibilities for a better life. The reasons for emigration varied, but economic ones dominated. Emigration had become a part of everyday life in Prekmurje, and soon grew beyond being a mere social problem. Emigrants differed according to the place of emigration and the duration of their absence. Emigration had some positive effects, for example an increased purchasing power of the population, as well as negative ones, such as the emergence of illegal trade in foreign currency. This thesis is based on the analysis of newspaper articles from newspapers Jutro, Murska krajina, Slovenec, and Mladi Prekmurec. For greater objectivity findings are supported by professional literature
