József Gagyi: Villanyos and His Community. Electrification, Modernization: History of the Nyárád Area (1945-1989)

The book József Gagyi: Villanyos and His Community. Electrification, Modernization: History of the Nyárád Area (1945-1989) was published by Kriterion Publishing House and Transylvanian Museum Society in Cluj-Napoca with the support of our institute.

Domokos Sztrátya, a well-known electrician in the Nyárád region, was much more than just a data provider. In addition to reflecting on his own life and that of his community, he was also a curious observer of the villages and the times. He was a peasant farmer from a serf village, a civil servant, and a social scientist in „disguise”.
