【 摘 要 】

Miloje Sokic, a journalist whose family owned the Pravda newspaper, spent waryears in the United States, where he gathered a collection of press clippingsthat illustrate well American attitudes towards the war in the Balkans. Thecollection reveals enthusiastic support for the Chetniks in the first twoyears of the war, and then the pendulum swang toward Partisans. In theseclipping one can follow two immigrant groups. The one around KonstantinFotitch, the Yugoslav Ambassador, nurtured the image of heroic Serbianresistance as illustrated by Rebecca West and Ruth Mitchell. The other,around Luis Adamic, presented Yugoslav Partisans as a piece of a progressivemulti-cultural America in the Balkans. Adamic’s strategy won because it waspolitically more astute, but also because the immigrants from the formerHabsburg lands outnumbered those of Serbian origin at a ratio of 3 to 1.
