Abstract

This field study explores the meaning of the Czech Festival, Soudeska, to the members of the community of Wilber, Nebraska and to those who participate. It examines the ways in which the festival affects both change and continuity in the major institutions of the community--specifically the family, the church, the education system, the political structure, and the economy. The meaning of festival to various groups of citizens important to the community is analyzed. The purpose of this project is to produce an ethnography of the Czech Festival of Wilber, Nebraska.
