Identity Formation and Social Integration: Creating and Imagining the Chinese Community in Prague, the Czech Republic
Original language description
The Chinese community in Prague is fairly new, established more or less after the Velvet Revolution in 1989, with next to no history in the communist era. Despite its small size, it is still the second largest Chinese community in the Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) after that in Budapest. For the last decade, its size has remained stable, though its internal composition has changed significantly. In general, the community is not settled, has little communal life or communal areas within the city, and is demographically, economically and socially diverse despite its relatively compact place of origin. The increased interest of Chinese tourists and inverstors in Prague may, however, result in a reassessment of the goals and future of the community. The chapter aims to analyze the identity formation of and social integration within the community.
