Books by Chad Bryant

How does the outsider find community and a sense of place? Chad Bryant tells the stories of five ordinary people over two centuries who struggled to make lives in Prague, a city whose beauty masks a history of exclusionary nationalism. Exploring the tense interplay of cohesion and difference, Prague is a powerful meditation on the need to belong.

On the heels of the Munich Agreement, Hitler's troops marched into Prague and established the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Nazi leaders were determined to make the region entirely German. Bryant explores the origins and implementation of these plans as part of a wider history of Nazi rule and its eventual consequences for the region.
