No citations are provided for controversial aspects of this page

[edit]

There is no known consensus either in self-identification or ethnohistory that the Bunjevac people are a "subgroup of Croats." And no citations have been provided. Many consider this group to be a separate ethnic group belonging neither to the Croats nor the Serbs. Others identify with Croats due to their Roman Catholic religion. Cultural studies place them outside of both Serbs and Croats. Citations should be provided and both perspectives fairly presented. Historiaantiqua (talk) 04:08, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing controversial, explanations and citations are provided neither they identify with Croats only because of religion. There's also a tendency, not without political influence, in some cultural studies to advance viewpoint of being not a sub-ethnic identity but a separate ethnic group outside of Croatian, Serbian or even a Bosnian nation. Some of such studies don't know and understand well history of Bunjevci (in fact, only a small part of Bunjevci are actually "the Bunjevci"). The identity of all these three ethnic groups or nations is complex and entwined due to historical and political circumstances which caused regional migrations in the last 500 years because of which the topic cannot be approached and understood with superficial thinking. There's nothing superficial in the ethnogenesis of former Yugoslavian nations.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 20:21, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
