With the support of our institute, the book by Róbert-István Antal: The Socialist Who Loves His Nation. Lajos Jordáky (1913-1974) was published in Cluj by Kriterion Publishing House and Transylvanian Museum Society.
Can a good communist be a good Transylvanian Hungarian? As a social-democratic and then communist politician, and as a devout Marxist who was displaced into the cultural sphere after the establishment of the state socialist dictatorship, he was confronted with the dilemma: Can the class emancipation of the Transylvanian Hungarian communities solve the challenges of minority existence?
The book's introduction and table of contents can be read here (in Hungarian).
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”.
