520 1 $a"When traumatic historical events and transformations coincide with one's entry into young adulthood, the personal and historical significance of life course transitions interact and intensify. In this volume, Alena Heitlinger examines identity formation among a generation of Czech and Slovak Jews who grew up under communism, coming of age during the de-Stalinization period of 1962-1968." "Heilinger's main focus is on the differences and similarities within and between generations, and on the changing historical and political circumstances of Czechoslovakian state socialism/communism that have shaped an individual's consciousness and identity - as a Jew, an assimilated Czech, Slovak, or Czechoslovak and, where relevant, as an emigre or an immigrant. The book also addresses a larger set of questions about the formation of Jewish identity in the midst of political upheavals, secularization, assimilation, and modernity." "This volume is rich in both statistical and archival data and in its analysis of historical, institutional, and social factors. Heitlinger's wide-ranging approach shows how history, generational, and individual biography intertwine in the formation of ethnic identity and its ambiguities."--BOOK JACKET.
