Within the frame of its’ changing role in the native culture, publishing houses in Slovenia, active in that field, the Slovene editions of emigrant anthologies, and cultural magazines in homeland that have interest in emigrant writers, are presented. An analysis follows on dealing emigrant literature in fundamental literary-historical surveys and in lexicons and in other scientific and professional publications in serial and non-serial publications. In continuation results of the research on integration of emigrant literature in primary and secondary schools education contents and in university studying programmes are summed up.
