Czech social scientists offer English readers an account of the three-quarter-century attempt to create a composite ethnic nation and provide it with an adequate political framework. Explains the rationale of the experiment and reviews its obstacles, successes, and failures; outlines the economic context of ethnic and social aspects of both the composite and the Czech and the Slovak components; and describes structural changes in the two societies in such areas as class structures, stratification, mobility, living standards, popular opinion, and electoral results.
