This book is a result of professional collaboration and friendly encounters among a group of Czech and Slovak historians over the course of several years. The aim of the book was to approach the concept of Czechoslovakism and its historical progression as systematically as possible, which was ultimately dictated by the specific makeup of the contributors, and to do so in the form of a collective monograph covering the time span from the mid-19th century to Czechoslovakia’s dissolution in 1992/1993. Some of the authors take a strongly conceptual approach, while others focus more closely on social practice and individual experience. Regardless, the authors’ shared emphasis on social practice in their historical analyses encourages a “wider” conception of “Czechoslovakism.” Unlike most existing work, which often understood “Czechoslovakism” as a narrowly political or ideological project and underscored its “instrumental” character, the studies in the present volume deal with “Czechoslovakism” as a productive working hypothesis and simultaneously an analytical and organizational tool, intended to examine the broader social-historical background of this multilayered phenomenon.
