Kucerova, E. (Ceska Zemedelska Univ., Prague-Suchdol (Czech Republic))
The paper deals with the issue often discussed in the contemporary Czech society - multicultural co-existence with the Romany ethnicum. The issue is known, in many variants, on the world-wide level. The basic theoretical issue used in the paper is the Naisbitt`s concept of multi-cultural nationalism connected to the process of the society homogenisation. Manifestations of this phenomenon have been registered in the Czech Republic expressively after the 1989, when the space of the freedom of speech was opened. Cultural nationalism culminated in the CR namely by the tendencies of the Romanies emigration to Western countries. The period before 1989, characterised by the political propaganda of the society levelling, led to a certain suppression of differences between the groups with language, racial, ethnic or other specifics. During the present changes, these differences came out again distinctively. It can be seen, that the manifestations of cultural nationalism are more frequent in the urban than in the rural environment.
