Johana Wyss and Jan Ort invite you to a double book launch

Dear colleagues,
With great pleasure, we would like to invite you to join us for a special double book launch hosted by the Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences:

🔹 Johana Wyss, PI of the ERC project Memory and Populism from Below
📖 Negotiating Collective Memory and Identity in Czech Silesia 📖
An ethnographic journey into the contested memories and identities of Opava and the Hlučín region—exploring how local communities navigate Czech nationalism, Silesian belonging, and the legacies of empire through oral histories, memorials, and everyday cultural practices.

🔹 Jan Ort, post-doc researcher of the ROCIT project

📖 The Roma as Agents of the “G*psy Question” 📖
Drawing on local case studies, the book explores various ways in which Romani families in communist Czechoslovakia engaged with state assimilation policies while maintaining elements of their cultural identity.
