Sažetak
The work addresses the question of Croatians and their descendants in South America, using available historical sources, lists and registers. Apart from trying to reconstruct the causes and consequences of emigration, the degree of influence that the area of emigration-regional origin has on the formation and creation of the Croatian emigrant community is discussed. Did it generate certain specifics? How did they show themselves as non/dominant categories? Comparisons are made between the historical dimension with today's contemporary problem by investigating the identity markers of descendants of Dubrovnik emigrants using related research. The perception of historical and contemporary regional / ethnic / national identity, its survival and significance today as well as its role in linking Croatia and the South American continent is presented.
