Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
This project’s primary research
objective was to examine state elite framing of the 1953 labor uprising in
Plzen, Czechoslovakia. The protest occurred after the ruling party, the
Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, announced a currency reform that transferred
a large amount of wealth from citizens to the state. In response, thousands of
workers in the industrial city of Plzen rallied at the city square to demand
their money back. This project examines how the state responded discursively to
the uprising, as well as the repressive actions taken against the protesters
during and following the event.
