Timeline

1870

His father, known to the family as Nado, travelled to California in the 1870s.

1894

He returned to the village in 1894, married the daughter of his first cousin and worked as a farmer.

The couple had four sons.

Jozo completed his secondary education in Sarajevo – then part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia – before moving to Switzerland to study at the University of Basel where he earned a doctorate in economics.

1908

Josip "Jozo" Tomašević was born in 1908 in the village of Košarni Do on the Pelješac peninsula in the Kingdom of Dalmatia, part of Austria-Hungary.

Košarni Do is near the village of Donja Banda and is today part of the Orebić municipality within the Dubrovnik-Neretva County of Croatia.

1930

In the mid-1930s, he worked at the National Bank of Yugoslavia in Belgrade and published three well-received books on Yugoslav national debt, fiscal policy, and money and credit, respectively.

In the mid-1930s, he was employed as a financial expert at the National Bank of Yugoslavia in Belgrade.

1937

In 1937, Tomasevich married Neda Brelić, a high school teacher.

They were happily married for 57 years and had three children – Anthony, Neda Ann, and Lasta.

1938

In 1938, he moved to the US as the recipient of a two-year Rockefeller fellowship and conducted research at Harvard University before joining the academic staff of Stanford University.

During World War II, Tomasevich worked for the Board of Economic Warfare and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, and post-war he joined the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco.

In 1938, he was the recipient of a two-year Rockefeller fellowship and moved to the US, "availing himself of the rich resources of Harvard University".

At this time, Tomašević assigned his share in the family farm at Košarni Do to one of his two brothers who remained there.

The other brother living in Košarni Do received the share of the fourth brother, who by then was a merchant mariner living in New Zealand.

Before the outbreak of World War II – and now known by the anglicised Tomasevich – he moved to California.

He was on the scholarly staff of the Food Research Institute within Stanford University.

During the war, he worked with the Board of Economic Warfare and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in Washington, D.C. After the war, he initially worked at the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco.

1941

Tomasevich then embarked on an extensive research and writing project on Yugoslavia in World War II – War and Revolution in Yugoslavia 1941–1945 – which was planned to include three volumes.

His final book was the second volume of the series – War and Revolution in Yugoslavia 1941–1945: Occupation and Collaboration – which was published posthumously in 2001 after editing by his daughter Neda.

It focused on collaboration and the quisling governments in Yugoslavia during the war, with a strong emphasis on the Axis puppet state, the so-called Independent State of Croatia.

The book was praised by historians such as Goldstein and Klaus Schmider, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst lecturer and German historian.

The latter described Tomasevich's grasp of the sources in five languages as "stupendous" and concluded that "the scholarly standard achieved by Jozo Tomasevich in his two volumes of War and Revolution in Yugoslavia and the thought of what he would have made of volume three of the series make his death a tragedy keenly felt even by those who never knew him".

As of 2024, the third volume on the Yugoslav Partisans remains unpublished despite being 75 per cent complete at his death.

In an obituary written by Vucinich, Tomasevich was described as "a master of scholarly skills, a person of bountiful erudition, wit and human dignity".

1943

Between 1943 and 1955, Tomasevich published two books on economic matters, one focused on marine resources and the other on the peasant economy of Yugoslavia, both of which were positively reviewed.

1948

In 1948, he joined the staff at San Francisco State College (later San Francisco State University).

His preference was for a position combining teaching and research, so in 1948, he joined the San Francisco State College (later San Francisco State University).

1973

He combined research and teaching there for twenty-five years until his retirement in 1973, broken by a year teaching at Columbia University in 1954.

He taught there for twenty-five years until he retired in 1973 – except in 1954 when he taught at Columbia University.

After his retirement, he was appointed professor emeritus of economics at San Francisco State University.

According to his obituary in the Slavic Review written by the historian Alexander Vucinich, Tomasevich "gave his lectures rich and pertinent content, precise organization and warm delivery".

1975

Supported by grants and fellowships, he published The Chetniks in 1975, which explored the development and fate of the Chetnik movement during the war.

Positively reviewed by scholars such as Phyllis Auty, Alexander Vucinich and John C. Campbell of the Council on Foreign Relations, it was also criticised for bias against Serbs, its length and repetition, by the political scientist Alex N. Dragnich.

1976

In 1976, Tomasevich contributed an essay to a book in which he conducted a sociological and historical analysis of his extended family reaching back to the early nineteenth century.

He became an American citizen.
