  • Czech-Americans in Transition

    New Publication of the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences (SVU)

    A book entitled Czech-Americans in Transition is scheduled for publication in early 1999 by Eakin Press , Austin, Texas. This collection of essays, edited by Clinton Machann of Texas A&M University, is based on a selection of presentations made at the 1997 Annual Meeting and Conference of the SVU, held July 12-13, 1997, at the Bell County Exposition Center in Belton, Texas, in conjunction with the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas (Slovanska podporujici jednota statu Texas, SPJST)

    Czech-Americans in Transition contains important new research on historical and cultural topics and illustrates the continuing strength and vitality of the Czech-American community, pointing toward a hopeful future for Czech ethnicity in America and the development of stronger ties between the U.S. and the Czech Republic.
