Namibian Czechs. History and identity of the Namibian children raised in Czechoslovakia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The book focuses on the history and problematic sense of belonging of Namibian Czechs, originally group of prominent child war refugees from Angola who were admitted by the Czechoslovak goverment in 1985 for education as an expression of international solidarity assistance to SWAPO, a liberation movement fighting for the independence for Namibia. This educational project with elements of social engineering was interrupted in 1991, after Namibia achieved its independence and Czechoslovakia had overthrown the communist regime. The political decision to relocate the children to Namibia had a dramatic impact on their future lives. The experience of living in two culturally different environments and especially the realisation that both societies denied their belonging have led to their fatal discovery that they are doomed to remain outsiders living on the border between two worlds.
