The present PhD Thesis, Reception Of The Slavonian Literature In Primary School Textbooks (Grades 1 to 8) From 1970 Till 2008 comprises the reception of the regional constituent in primary school textbooks. More precisely, the rate with which authors were included. The native land component of this system is important not only for those authors, who systematized their individual and human existences by connecting to the land of the native space, but also for those, whose current addresses are not in Slavonia, uttering their need to return to it using texts. The selection therefore included authors who are connected to the area of Slavonia by their birthplace, education, private and social life, those who are bonded by their education or one part of their lives (working place) to Slavonia, as well as those whose birthplace and educational institution is in Slavonia, but who spent most of their lives and had business activities outside of it. The present Thesis tries to draw attention to the importance of doing research in the area of cultural identity as a viewpoint over the cultural circumstances of the space, particularly the Slavonian, which is marginalized in a sense. That margin is considered to be a regional reflection into which some other spaces melt (Hungary, Northern Bosnia, Vojvodina). The Thesis identified the reception of the textbook authors according to the native land writers. There are authors in primary school textbooks outlined, and changes in the contents from 1970 till 1989 and from 1990 till 2008 noted. All the events from these periods have reflected on the educational level as well, resulting in changes in the school curricula. This had an impact on developing criteria for enlisting Slavonian authors into textbooks. The research proved that in the analyzed textbooks there are Slavonian authors present from the 18th century till modern age and that most of these authors are present in both of the time spans analyzed. It became evident that there are more poetic works than narratives with topics ranging from humor, scenery and thoughtfulness. Since the Croatian homeland war there are texts with patriotic topics. Moreover, it has been noted that there is a positive tendency when certain authors are considered, whereas there has been a loss of interest when others are taken into account. Naturally, there are authors who maintain their position in the first and second time span analyzed. Regionalism has not been the only criterion when it was decided which author should be included into a textbook, the texts written by Slavonian authors have a distinctive language and topics.
