Popis: Stipe Šuvar (1936. — 2004.) je bio hrvatski političar, sociolog, publicist i javni radnik koji je tokom cijele svoje karijere nastupao, govorio i pisao u modusu političke i kulturne suradnje i udruživanja Srba i Hrvata, kako u Hrvatskoj tako i u Jugoslaviji. Do 1990. godine Šuvar zagovara ideju jugoslavenskog socijalističkog patriotizma unutar kojeg nije tijesno ni demokratskoj nacionalnoj svijesti ni jugoslavenstvu. Poslije te prekretničke godine svojim tekstovima i javnim istupima suprotstavlja se šovinističkoj retorici nove vlasti usmjerene protiv Srba u Hrvatskoj. Time je na jedinstven način obvezao Srbe u Hrvatskoj i zaslužuje, kako je to kazao njegov kolega Svetozar Livada, njihovu trajnu zahvalnost.
Stipe Šuvar (1936 — 2004) was a politician, sociologist, publicist and public figure from Croatia. In his public addresses, articles, and political speeches and actions he always tried to unite two peoples, Croats and Serbs. During his long career, which spanned from the early sixties until his death in 2004, he always advocated political and cultural cooperation between these nations. He was also a proponent of the so-called “Yugoslav socialist patriotism”. The idea of a democratic national consciousness was united with the idea of Yugoslavism within the doctrine of Yugoslav patriotism. After 1990, he criticized and opposed to anti-Serb rhetoric, which dominated the Croatian public sphere. With this, he obliged the Serbs in Croatia in a unique way and deserves their permanent gratitude, as his colleague Svetozar Livada noted
