Colectivizarea comunei Mirșid, județul Sălaj 1956-1962
The Collectivization of Mirșid Commune, Salaj County, 1956-1962

Summary/Abstract: Collectivization was carried out by a political and administrative bureaucracy that fostered centers of power with divergent purposes. The attitude adopted by the local authorities is a bizarre mixture of resistance, delay and exulted dynamism. Therefore, the social gap between the local authorities and the community they were supposed to control was a lot narrower than it would first appear. The collectivist centers did not only consist of poor farmers. Following a sociological and anthropological investigation, it was revealed that the rural community was structured by family relationships or ideological (religious) beliefs that turn the “resistance”/”collaboration” attitudes away from the economic perspective.
