Sažetak
This essay explores a complex articulation that produced the MANY within New Zealand bicultural discourse through an analysis of the way it is represented in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. In doing so, it concentrates on the Croatian community and the way it has been positioned as one of the MANY, its relation to the TWO (Mäori and Päkehä) and its role in the construction of the ONE (the New Zealand nation). Croats, as one of the MANY minority ethnic groups in New Zealand, could serve as a sort of crystal, reflecting the complex interplay of power relations, the interplay of tolerance and intolerance, inclusion and exclusion that is linked with all changes of New Zealand’s nation-building processes (colonialism, assimilation, multiculturalism or biculturalism).
