Born January 1, 1993, after the split with Slovakia, the Czech
Republic is one of the youngest members of the European Union.
Despite its youth, this new state and the areas just outside its
modern borders boast an ancient and intricate past. With A History
of the Czech Lands, editors Jaroslav Panek and Oldrich Tuma-along
with several scholars from the Academy of Sciences of the Czech
Republic and Charles University - provide one of the most complete
historical accounts of this region to date. Panek and Tuma's
history begins in the Neolithic Era and follows the development of
the state as it transformed into the Kingdom of Bohemia during the
ninth century, into a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, into
Czechoslovakia after World War I, and finally into the Czech
Republic. Such a tumultuous political past arises in part from a
fascinating native people, and A History of the Czech Lands
profiles the Czechs in great detail, delving into past and present
traditions and explaining how generation after generation adapted
to a perpetually changing government and economy. In addition,
contributors examine the many minorities that now call these lands
home - Jews, Slovaks, Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, and others - and
how each group's migration to the region has contributed to life in
the Czech Republic today. With sixty new illustrations and an
additional chapter examining the transformation of the Czech
Republic from a post-communist country into a member of the
European Union, this new edition of A History of the Czech Lands
will be essential for scholars of Slavic, Central, and East
European studies and a must-read for those who trace their ancestry
to these lands.
Kollektive Vertreibungen deutschsprachiger Volksgruppen aus ihrer
angestammten Heimat haben am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges nur im
ostlichen Teil Europas stattgefunden. Dagegen beschrankten sich die
westlichen Staaten darauf, von Nordschleswig uber das belgische
Eupen-Malmedy bis nach Sudtirol eine individuelle politische
"Sauberung" gegen besonders belastete Kollaborateure des Dritten
Reiches durchzufuhren. Wesentliche Grunde fur diese sehr
unterschiedlichen Entwicklungen werden in den darstellenden
Beitragen und Dokumentationen des Sammelbandes deutlich. Er ist das
Ergebnis eines internationalen Projekts, an dem Wissenschaftler aus
sieben Landern Ostmittel- und Westeuropas beteiligt waren."
