Summary:

The submitted publication reflects our intention to tackle themes which in Ethnology teaching may, in our opinion, survive generational and social changes on the threshold of the millennium. Our ideas, intentions and uncertainties are concentrated in the vision of themes which are included in the publication "Ethnology for the 21st Century. Bases and Prospects". The monograph is compiled as a team work written by university teachers, Ph.D. students and experts from academic institutions, who take part in lectures, about the future direction in ethnology teaching at universities. _x000D_
