Tipovi lika iseljenika u novijoj hrvatskoj književnosti
Immigrant Character Types in Recent Croatian Literature

Summary/Abstract: The paper outlines a possible typology of immigrant characters in 19th and 20th century Croatian literature. Since there are almost no similar articles in Croatian literary historiography, the author warns methodologically of two levels and two separate issues – the treatment of these topics in local and exile literature. Generally, there is the type of character of economic provenance – with a hoarding mentality, along with the home nostalgic – as well as the figure of the artist intellectual who emigrates to fulfil his/her cultural needs, and ultimately, the politically and ideologically charged character, which was more in the focus of attention of exile literature.
