Sažetak
The paper deals with the question of the public perception of Croatia in Australia on the eve of its independence from former Yugoslavia. It examines the formation of discourses around the already existing rhetoric of ethnic conflict as the world media readily picked up and manipulated the myths of “age old ethnic hatred”. The paper also addresses the discursive practices that have shaped the Australian perception of Croatia between 1990 and 1993, describes the media climate in which the Croatian community in Australia was left to deal with its grief and anger during the war in their homeland, and was forced to look for alternative sources of information outside the established information corridors.
