The author of the paper and current editor of Ameriška Domovina depicts the role of the review as a publication of Slovenes of Catholic orientation in the U. S., with special emphasis on the period during and after World War II. He examines the relationship between the review and other contemporary political and ideological orientations among Slovene immigrants in the United States within the frameworks of contemporary developments in the Slovene community.
