Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze ethnic identities which authors in Austrian encyclopedias and lexicons assign to population of Croatian lands in the first half of the 19th century, and compare them with datas which other autors from that period use in their books. The lack of official datas is the reason why authors interpret these ethnic groups according to their own knowledge. In another words, they construct identities. On the other hand, those identifications prove the state of self – identification which inhibitants have of themselves.
