Premeny Bratislavy 1939-1993 (Transformations of Bratislava 1939-1993)

The Slovak etnographer Peter Salner writes in the summary of the book: "The book entitled Transformations of Bratislava seeks a response to the fundamental question: Why and how once a multi-ethnic and tolerant city has changed, in a historical short time of several decades, into its present shape, so different from the past. The author uses two methods in order to achieve this goal. While in the initial chapters analyze individual historical periods (the 40-ies, 50-ies and the period of normalization) the second part traces the changes based on various set of problems." Text is in Slovak, Summary is in German and English languages.
