Marek Jakoubek, Lenka Budilova. Living in Two Worlds: Bulgarian Czechs in the Village of Voyvodovo
Language: English

     The book is concerned with the history of the Czech-speaking community in North-Western Bulgaria. The history of the community is followed since its establishment in the 19th century in the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The authors have conducted their fieldwork both in Voyvodovo and in South Moravian villages, where former Voyvodovo villagers settled after their relocation to Czechoslovakia after WWII. Based on interviews with former Voyvodovo villagers, as well as on extensive archive research, the book offers a detailed discussion about the key elements of the villagers' life in the period 1900—1950.
