%X Sa£¿etak This article examines the short section on race theory found in the entry on ¡®Man¡¯ published in the fourth volume of the Croatian Encyclopaedia (the so-called ¡®Usta£¿a¡¯ Encyclopaedia) in 1942 and written by the Slovenian-born Croatian biologist Boris Zarnik. Since Zarnik criticised the idea of racism, or what he also termed ¡®race theory¡¯, in this entry, a number of historians and other commentators have claimed that Zarnik, and even the Usta£¿a government, were theoretically opposed to National Socialist racism. But through a close examination of both his pre-war articles on racial anthropology and the ideas expressed in his entry on race theory, this article will highlight that Zarnik¡¯s position on race and racism was actually completely in line with the tenets of National Socialism
