The centre of the diploma project consists of analysis of publications of Czech travellers and the memoirs of Czech immigrants to Argentina, who describe the situation in this region in the first thirty years of 20th Century. This work is focused especially on publications of Czech travellers, such as Vladislav Forejt, František Čech-Vyšaty and memoirs of Anna Kodýtková and Božena Čvančarová. Such information's were introduced to readers with great delay. This project describes the way of life of our emigrants in that time, such as the motivation for trade or voyages. These publications are critically assessed and the project comes out with realistic picture of Czechoslovak emigrants that was accessible to the Czechoslovak public between two world wars. The Diploma project is mainly inspired by work of Ivan Dubovický, Rudolf Míšek and Bohumil Baďura, who studied the phenomenon of immigrants to Latin American region. The project deals also with the theme of immigration in general as a phenomenon that influences development of nations as well as the whole world.
