Ladislav Holy brings to this timely study of national identity the skills of a seasoned researcher, a cosmopolitan perspective, and the insights of an insider. Drawing on historical and literary sources as well as ethnography, he analyzes Czech discourses on national identity. Arguing that there were specifically "Czech" aspects to the Communist regime and to the "velvet revolution", he explores how notions of Czech identity were involved in the debates surrounding the fall of Communism, and the emergence of a new social system.

Summary: Comprehensive and valuable book
Comment: As a member of czech nation and student of anthropology I have found this book very useful, comprehensive and in fact breathtaking. The foregoing objection about Moravian "nation" is irrelevant. The Majority of "Morava" inhabitants conceptualize themselves as members of the Czech nation, living in the region of Morava. Therefore speaking about "Moravian" nation is not common in our culture.
A few of the historical details and citations of some documents are not listed properly.

Summary: a narrow picture of identity in the Czech Republic
Comment: Holy claims to be writing about the 'Czech nation' and thus very irresponsibly lumps Moravians into that grouping. This is my main complaint. As an anthropologist who has done fieldwork in the area, it seems elementary to make this distinction. Holy is Czech and this may be the best explanation for his neglect
