In "The Turk" in the Czech Imagination (1870s-1923), Jitka
Maleckova describes Czechs' views of the Turks in the last half
century of the existence of the Ottoman Empire and how they were
influenced by ideas and trends in other countries, including the
European fascination with the Orient, images of "the Turk,"
contemporary scholarship, and racial theories. The Czechs were not
free from colonial ambitions either, as their attitude to
Bosnia-Herzegovina demonstrates, but their viewpoint was different
from that found in imperial states and among the peoples who had
experienced Ottoman rule. The book convincingly shows that the
Czechs mainly viewed the Turks through the lenses of nationalism
and Pan-Slavism - in solidarity with the Slavs fighting against
Ottoman rule.
