Russian immigrants in Prague: concentration, integration, cohabitation
Ignatyeva, Ekaterina
The diploma thesis explores the relation between the processes of segregation and integration through the study of everyday cohabitation and social interaction that takes place in areas of concentrated Russian immigrants in Prague. Given that some locations of Prague have a long experience with the immigration of Russians, this thesis is reflective of the historical development of the Russian immigration to the First Republic, which in some way to helps to understand and explain the processes taking place presently on the unequal social and legal status of Russians, as immigrants from third countries, perceived through migration and integration policies of the Czech Republic. Analysis of the media's discourse shows the negative impact on Russian immigrants in social interactions with the majority, subsequently reducing integration and deepening social inequality.

Next, the daily interaction among Russian immigrants and the Czech majority is examined in selected locations by the qualitative research. The conclusions discuss how research of everyday cohabitation and social interaction contributed to the understanding of the processes of segregation and the...

Strangers in a Strange Land: American Lives under the Soviet Gaze
Perry, David ; Brisku, Adrian (advisor) ; Vykoukal, Jiří (referee) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
Strangers in a Strange Land: American Lives Under the Soviet Gaze By David Perry This paper aims to shed light on the lives of American immigrants living in the Soviet Union during the 1930s, while also discussing the role that state propaganda, presented through English-language periodicals such as Moscow News, played within the immigrant community. This paper provides needed analysis of an under-researched population in the study of immigration in the modern era. By focusing on primary sources produced for the consumption of the community as a whole, as opposed to individual experiences found in memoirs or letters, this paper attempts to create generalizable information regarding the social and political pressures facing the Soviet-American immigrant community of the 1930s. In the second chapter of this paper, I construct a profile of the immigrant community and trace the historical development of the community, from the United States in the early years of the Great Depression to their emigration to the Soviet Union. I also work to describe the ways that factors such as race, gender, and class affected the experiences of the immigrant community. This paper utilizes a conceptual historical approach, particularly in its third chapter, to develop an understanding of the way that concepts important...

Marinovová, Klára ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Menclová, Barbora (referee)
Racial tensions in UK escalating to violent conflicts from early 50ʼs on, led to series of changes in British legislation. Migration was systematically restricted, and regulations of entry were becoming much more severe. Discrimination of Caribbean and Asian immigrants in labor market, housing and education was extensive. Every attempt to address racial discrimination on the level of legislation was inefficient and hardly enforceable. Case study presented is situated in this social-political context. It is focused on second generation of afro-Caribbean minority in 70ʼs and its reaction to expulsion from British society, denying British identity and its fight against oppression through music and especially through language used itself. Jamaican Creole and in British, most notably in London surroundings, on Creole based system of adaptations called London Jamaican became significant feature of ethnic identification of afro-Caribbean (black) adolescents. This feature was used in conversations almost always through phenomenon of code-switching, where Creole features used were linked to attempt to define the speaker against dominant white society and oppressive system. Using of the features was often purposeful, because second generation of migrants was fully competent in using standard British English....
