This book analyzes the first of the vast popular uprisings in the
countries of Eastern Bloc-the revolt of West Bohemian City of
Pilsen against the currency reform on June 1, 1953. The text is the
first complex critical monograph on this topic. In the
methodological field the research is inspired by the theories of
so-called new social movements. Therefore, the book frames the
Pilsen revolt into the context of previous protest actions that had
taken place in the examined region after the establishment of
communist dictatorship in Czechoslovakia. Thus, the text deals with
all the conflicts occurred within the years 1948-1953. This method
enables the author to study several protest cultures which operated
on a long-term base in various parts of the society and which-each
of them in a different way-affected the course of the Pilsen
revolt. So, the work provides not only the detailed critical
description of June 1953 events but also their cultural genealogy.
