| Abstract: | The aim of the article is to compare the experience and perception of discrimination in daily life by two ethnic minorities: the Slovene minority in Italy and the Italian in Slovenia. Ethnic discrimination is understood in a wider perspective as positive or negative behaviour and treatment of individuals resulting from their affiliation to a certain ethnic group. The article analyyes data obtained through several empirical (quantitative and qualitative) studies conducted between 2006 and 2008 among the Slovene minority living in the Trieste area and the Italian minority living in Slovene Istria, with the analysis having been based on theories of interethnic relations and processes. The results of these studies have revealed that the two minorities perceive and experience the environment in which they live in avery different manner: members of the former experience it as fairly intolerant, while members of the latter, by contrast, experience it as relatively tolerant. In addition, the former feel less accepted in their environment and have recently experienced more forms of intolerance and negative discrimination than their Italian counterparts. The Slovene minority also has considerably worse interaction with the majority (Italian) population or, to be more precise, members of the Slovene minority mostly maintain personal and friendly contacts with members of their own community, which is an indicator of perpetual self-containment of the Slovene minority resulting from its lifestyle. What the two groups have in common is the strong feeling of belonging to a minority community, with the members of the Slovene minority being slightly more aware of it in daily life. The differences manifested in the perception of the environment and in the experience of discrimination undoubtedly result from different socio-historical backgrounds and different status of the two minorities, which could be improved with consistent implementation of right already granted. |
