Dynamics of Forced Female Migration from Czechoslovakia to Britain, 1938-1950: Exile Studies

Autor Jana Barbora Buresova
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iul 2019
Awarded the Honorary Silver Medal of Jan Masaryk The study of Czechoslovak women refugees in Britain is noticeably missing from current research and Anglo-Czechoslovak historiography. This book explores the diverse experiences, dilemmas and contributions to Britain of these women within a socio-political context, commencing with the 1938 Munich Agreement that precipitated exile. An essential difference between this and many other studies of exile is the focus on nationality (Czechoslovak) and gender (women), rather than either element alone. Moreover, archival research is complemented by oral interviews with former refugees, presenting a more detailed and nuanced approach to their experiences, including wartime roles in the armed services, Czechoslovak Red Cross, women¿s organizations and patriotic cultural societies.
