The monograph You keepers of the border informs the factors and processes that influenced the national identification of the peasant inhabitants of the Goriska Brda in the 19th century. In addition to the use of the Slovene language at school and church and the definition of a Slovene spoken language, national activists especially encouraged Brice to express their identity with the singing of Slovenian "folk" songs. That is why they promoted the performance of choirs and tried to exterminate the singing of non-Slovene songs - especially Friulian and Italian.
