- Summary:
- <p>Slovak nationalist sentiment has been a constant presence in thehistory of Czechoslovakia, coming to head in the torrent ofnationalism that resulted in the dissolution of the Republic onJanuary 1, 1993. James Felak examines a parallel episode in the1930s with Slovak nationalists achieved autonomy for Slovakia-but"at the price" of the loss of East Central Europe's onlyparliamentary democracy and the strengthening of Nazi power. Thetensions between Czechs and Slovaks date back to the creation ofCzechoslovakia in 1918. Slovaks, who differed sharply in politicaltradition, social and economic development, and culture, andresented being governed by a centralized administration run fromthe Czech capital of Prague, formed the Slovak People's Party, ledby Roman Catholic priest Ankrej Hlinka. Drawing heavily on Czechand Slovak archives, Felak provides a balanced history of theparty, offering unprecedented insight into intraparty factionalismand behind-the-scenes maneuvering surrounding SSP's policydecisions.</p>.
