After the Second World War, the Istrian Peninsula, which comprises present-day Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy, experienced a significant phenomenon known as the Istrian Exodus. This book delves into the challenging and often overlooked history of this region, shifting the traditional focus from migrants to those who remained behind and to the new immigrants who settled in the "emptied" towns. The research, grounded in personal recollections, explores the complexities of silence and competing national narratives, the motivations for staying and leaving, the emergence of hybrid border ethnic identities, and the revitalization of Istrian society and its evolving social dynamics. This self-critical reflection on a neglected chapter of national history employs an empathetic approach to allow the silence to be heard.
