Prefaceri sociale în primul deceniu postbelic. Culturalizarea maselor în raionul Alba (1950-1955)

Social Change in the First Post-War Decade: Mass Culture in Alba District (1950–1955) Losing the historical importance it acquired during the interwar period, Alba district became an administrative-territorial structure of the Hunedoara region. Adult education policies, otherwise an essential component of the efforts to legitimise the communist regime in Romania, were transposed at the local level in an interesting way which highlighted local particularities and conflicts for power between various decision-making groups. My interest in adult education during the communist drew my attention to a case study that highlights the local particularities of the centralizing policies of an establishment in search of legitimacy. In the future, adult education in the Alba district would benefit from more in-depth study, benefiting from access to a largely virgin archive.
