This people emigrated between 1968–1989 to the countries of Western Europe and North America and returned during the nineties of the 20th century. The research focuses on the process of forming identity of these individuals, their causal conditions, intervening conditions and what is the main element forming their identity in relation to the nation. From the depth analysis of the interviews showed that the central phenomenon in the sense of national identity is a measure of an individual’s adaptation to the environment or degree of acculturation and consequently the rate of reintegration. This phenomenon, however, entering intervening conditions, such as coping strategies, success at work or family and friendly ties. The main line in this context represents the direction of emigration and re-emigration of an individual with all the causal and intervening conditions. An important element of context lines is, however, the very fact of the departure of the individual, including his preparations for departure from the country. That’s basically determines to a large extent, the actual process of acculturation in individuals with emigration impact on the sense of national identity.

About this region, there exists authentic testimony and this territory is fixed in the collective memory. The oral history is a highly valued literary source. Its value is in the authenticity, which is characterized by selectivity and represents another point of view. The essay brings the unique opportunity to get acquainted with witnesses of the wartime. At present this testimony is unknown or is being forgotten in the offical documents. The essay follows the researches of Jaromír Jech from the middle of the last century. So we get the view of the importance of the massacre in Křešice and forcible displacement of Czech inhabitants in a demarcated region. Result of this work is the analysis of the results obtained with the help of the modern approaches that are based on the method of the oral history, which is a part of the qualitative research, with an emphasis on general objectives and context. It also simultaneously maps over the current state, i.e. the reflection of the forcible war persecution on the present times and its viability in the future, functionality of the generation transfers and traumas.

This will serve as a comparison with Balochs living as an ethnic minority in the territory of other states — especially in Iran. The national self-awareness of the Balochs, who live in several countries and have no statehood, is very specific in many ways. The problem of their identity can be better understood in the context of certain parallels between them and European peoples (ethnic groups), since their ethnogenesis displays certain common features. We should bear in mind, however, that the formation and development of the Balochs differed in many respects from those of the European peoples. This paper focuses primarily on language, historical consciousness, religion and cultural traditions of the Turkmen Balochs.

Vlach a jeho Cikáni; Of J. Vlach’s Forgotten Ethnographical Study on Gypsies; ; ; Jaroslav Vlach was a teacher at a secondary grammar school in the Prague quarter of Smíchov. His field of expertise was history and geography and as a teacher he taught subjects on these topics. As was common in those days, J. Vlach followed contemporary Czech and foreign publications and discussions in his field. He himself was a prolific author, too. Apart from his writings connected directly to his profession, his works were mostly related to (geographically oriented) ethnography in a very wide scope. The study we present is a part of Vlach’s work People of Europe (Národové evropští), published in 1908. Vlach’s historical-ethnographical study contains a huge sum of information of various categories. It covers topics of history, ethnography, or religiosity, and a sociologist or political scientists would not be disappointed, either. Nevertheless, our aim is not to analyze Vlach’s text; by publishing this edition we want primarily to remind this forgotten study and make it available to other scholars, and to enable them to make use of Vlach’s text in their work. We are convinced that this already more than one hundred years old study is worth it. Thu, 01 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/96539 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
