Sažetak
The goal of presentation is to analyse the process of diaspora formation in the longue durée. Migrants’ identities will be approached as a social construct. A construct which is created in accordance with the notion of transnationalism, that is, permanent cross-border relations. The concept of diaspora will be approached in terms of Rogers Brubaker's definition, as ‘an idiom, a stance, a claim’, and not a fixed social entity. Diasporas will be understood as a collective identity, and recognised in emigrants collective activities. According to the thesis, the identity of diasporas differ from the identity projected to them from the homeland even in the case when diasporas support the political system back home. It is the result of the impact of immigrant society. This is evident in the case of pre-World War II diasporas in Australia and New Zealand. As the breakthrough years in the development of these particular diasporas I recognize 1914, 1942 and 1990.
