Review Article: Tradition and contemporary situation of the scholarship on working class settlements in the Czech lands

Summary/Abstract: A study of working class housing, mainly of working class housing in working class settlemenents, belonged to the main topics of Czech ethnology and Czech socially oriented historiography before the year 1989. Within the frames of extensive ethnological researches of the Czech lands´ industrial areas both ethnologists and historians paid great attention to working class settlements in Brno, Plzeň, Prague or especially in Ostravian industrial area. Just around Ostrava we can speak about uninterrupted continuity of working class settlements´ research which has remained in the sphere of researchers´ interests also after the year 1989 when the changes in the whole society and the transformation of dominant historcal narratives led to a decline of interest in working class housing and settlements. The review article summs up the Czech existing scholarship with special reference to the greater Ostrava area.
