The Image of Ottomans in Croatian historiography: Changing Narratives in Elementary School Textbooks in Croatia—1980s to 2000s
Although historically relations between Catholic Croatia and Islam were burdened by more than three centuries of Ottoman/Bosnian-Habsburg/Croatian warfare on Croatian soil, creating extremely negative image of Muslims in Croatian culture and collective memory, during most of the 20th century, with exception of early 1990s, attitude towards Islam and Muslims in Croatian society was surprisingly mostly positive. The legal status of sole Muslim representative, Islamic Community, was confirmed by special agreement with the state in 2002. The author argues that besides obvious cultural and linguistical proximity of Bosnian Muslims and Croats, several factors contributed to this positive environment: remoteness of Ottoman wars in time, fear of common political enemy – Serbia - and Austro-Hungarian tradition of early legal recognition of Islam.
