The first issue of Borec ("Warrior") was published in 1949. It was founded by the Union of Associations of theWorld War II veterans, antifascist fighters and members of the National Liberation Struggle (NLS) of Slovenia in December 1948. Today it is published as a quarterly by the Association for the Research of History, Anthropology and Literature and features contemporary research texts in the fields of history, anthropology, and literature as well as historical material. Its main focus is the period of the Second World War thus offering in-depth analysis of current topics of social reality (e.g. revisionism). Abstracts in English are available at the website.
Background
In 1993 the Association for the Research of History, Anthropology and Literature took over the publishing from the Mladika Publishing House and conceived Borec as a contemporary interdisciplinary journal. The evolution from a veterans' gazette to a literary and scientific journal is based on the respect of its tradition of the antifascist resistance in terms of class struggle and social transformation.
