Everyday Life in the Bata Company Town Borovo before the Second World War
Original language description
The chapter analyzes everyday life in the Bata company town of Borovo, then in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, today Croatia, during the fourth decade of the twentieth century. The chapter gives a short historical introduction on the overall history of the Bata Company from its beginnings in Zlín, today the Czech Republic, to becoming one of the largest shoe producers in the world during the second half of the twentieth century. We also discuss the development of the Bata Company in Yugoslavia, from its beginning in the twenties until the nationalization of the Company’s assets in 1946. In the central part of the text we deal with everyday life in Borovo and Bata’s quest to form an ideal worker in a perfect garden city. Also analyzed are different aspects of the life of the worker, conditions of work, their social and cultural life, as well as changes introduced by Bata for workers, their families and the environment in which they lived. We also analyze the construction of the factory town and the living conditions of the workers in factory settlement.
