České migrace 19. a 20. století a jejich dosavadní studium
The Study of Czech Migration in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Summary/Abstract: In this article the author points out the shortcomings in existing Czech research into twentieth-century Czech migration. These shortcomings, he argues, are par¬ticularly evident in comparison with research conducted abroad. The author points to the striking disproportion in research into the individual waves of emi¬gration from, and immigration to, the Bohemian Lands, as well as the continu¬ous influence of particular approaches to the research itself or theoretical and methodological starting points. In this connection he sets out 21 structurally dif¬ferent waves of migration from the late eighteenth century onwards, which have ultimately influenced the demographic and socio-cultural development of the Bohemian Lands in the twentieth century. He provides a brief description of them, considering questions of their size, direction, and other development in relation to the host countries and the land and society of what is now the Czech Republic.
