starčević's racism was further fully elaborated by ivo pilar [under pseudonym l. von südland] the book was translated into croatian language in the year of 1943, by pavelić's regime, as one of the tenets of his ustaše and his independent state of croatia. this racist work was reprinted in 1990. in the preface to this reprint edition, dr. vladimir veselica, a zagreb university professor, expresses his enthusiasm that the author had given "relevant answers" at the highest intellectual level. what thrilled him so was the consistently expressed racist hatred against the serbs. it is sufficient to submit one quotation that explains the sense and content of this book, which far outdoes the current demonization of the serbs: " it was not without reason that i tried to show how the serbs today are dangerous for their ideas and their racial composition, how a bent for conspiracies, revolutions and coups is in their blood."
