Wilde, Boris ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Agha, Petr (referee)
The central theme of this thesis is the Roma Holocaust. Through the historical realities the Roma Holocaust is placed in a legal but also a wider sociological context.

Hemžalová, Simona ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis is concerned with the portrayal of the Windrush generation, the first wave of immigrants coming to Britain from its former colonies, in Andrea Levy's Small Island (2004) and Samuel Selvon's The Lonely Londoners (1956). The theoretical part of the thesis outlines the socio-historical and cultural overview of the rising immigration to Britain after the Second World War, which according to the selected secondary sources contributed to the increase of racism and discrimination, namely against people of Caribbean origin. The thesis further presents principal concepts of postcolonial and Anglophone Caribbean literature and examines both authors' personal experience with immigration as well as the idiosyncratic features of their writing. These are essential for understanding the literary works of the selected authors and the subsequent interpretation of their literary depiction of the immigrant experience.

Simultaneously, the work examines how the literary depictions of the immigrant experience correspond to the theory presented. Moreover, the thesis...

Racial Discrimination in the Judicial Practice of the Czech Republic
Ulmannová, Iva ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Štefko, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with issues related to decision-making practice of Czech courts in cases where the plaintiff sought protection against racial discrimination in civil proceedings. Specifically, the thesis endeavours - through the analysis of selected decisions of higher courts and the practice of lower courts - to answer the question of whether the judicial practice together with the applicable laws provide sufficiently effective judicial protection of the right to equal treatment. The first part defines the concept of race as discriminatory ground, as this term is used in legislation in a very broad way and contrary to some scientific concepts of race. The second part contains a brief summary of the legal regulation of non-discrimination in international, European and Czech law. This section focuses on the legal framework applied by Czech courts in the decisions discussed and provides a basis for the following analytical part. The third part, which is the key part of the thesis, deals with decision-making practice of the courts with focus on the problematic aspects of protection against racial discrimination in legislation regulating the protection of personal rights. The shortcomings of judicial practice ascertained are then compared with the new rules contained in the Anti-Discrimination Act....

Do Czech people discriminate football players by race?
Kotrba, Vojtěch ; Lahvička, Jiří (advisor) ; Kovanda, Lukáš (referee)
This paper invistigates racial discrimination in the virtual environment of the Czech fantasy league using data from years 2010-2013. There is no anti-discrimination legislation in this environment and users can express their personal preferences with impunity. Customers or co-workers cannot be the source of discrimination. The results show that Czech users choose black football players in their line-ups more than comparably efficient white football players. The authors of fantasy league perceive these preferences and set higher prices for black football players.
