This text aims to compare the concept of ethnic studies as implemented primarily in the Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences of the 1990s and the early 21st century with the concept of ethnic studies in the USA. The study weighs up the same elements and differences, and in particular the differences of the resources on which both concepts are based and inspired. This comparison makes it possible to contextualize the concept of ethnic studies more precisely and to avoid confusion arising from the use of the different designation of ethnic studies in the Czech Republic and the United States. The text first briefly describes the context in which the departments of ethnic studies at American universities were founded and on which subjects they focused and then shifts to the topic of ethnic studies in the Czech Republic.
