I was asked to discuss three papers on perceptions of the U.S.A, held by Slovenes between World War I and II. The first paper, “The Slovene Women's Perception of America from Marie Prisland to the Present” (Mirjam Milharčič) deals with women emigrants' perception of America, expressed many years after having settled in the USA, while the other two, “America in the Eyes of Božidar Jakac” (Marjan Drnovšek) and Milan Vidmar's “Reflections on Europe and America in 1937” (Peter Vodopivec) discuss perceptions of two Slovene intellectuals, who had visited the U.S. and wrote the books upon their return to Slovenia. There are similarities among the three papers, but there are many more significant differences as the protagonists had different stories to report. People differed not only in their educational and professional background, but they also had different reasons and goals for their sojourn in America. Although all three papers are interesting, my further discussion concerns only perceptions of America, expressed by the two Slovene “visitors” Božidar Jakac and Milan Vidmar.
