Hungarian Studies Review 2012

2006-07 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the coming of the refugees of the 1956 anti-Soviet revolution in Hungary to North America.With the arrival of those refugees, the writer of these lines included, the life of North America's Magyar colonies was revitalized.To celebrate this anniversary we undertook to publish two volumes of our journal, both of them bulkier than has been our tradition in the past.In the first of our "1956" commemorative issues we presented a collection of essays that dealt with or touched on the subject of the image Hungary and Hungarians at home or abroad.This was vol.33 of the HSR, and it was published for 2006.The second of our commemorative volumes, entitled 1956 in Hungary, we publish as vol.34, for the year 2007.A third compendium of studies is in the making as well, also dealing with aspects of 1956, since not all the papers collected fit in one volume of less than 250 pages.This third volume will be published for 2008.The first essay of the present 2007 special volume deals with the subject of the treatment of Hungarians by Hungary's post-1945 Soviet masters, as illustrated by the fate of those Magyars who fell into Soviet captivity at the end of the Second World War.The next paper deals with the role of Hungary's Churches in the Revolution and the impact of the 1956 events on them.The following study examines the days when Hungary was free of Communist rule especially in the context of the functioning of the country's newly re-bom political parties.This is followed by an examination of the interrelationship of the events of 1956 and the country's working class.Most appropriately, the next study deals with the subject of the revolution and Hungary's peasantry, focusing especially on the impact of the events of 1956 on the country's villages.The subsequent study examines the attempts by Hungary's post-1957 regime to re-write the history of the revolution through the means of films made for popular consumption.The volume's penultimate article surveys the reactions of writers and poets to the Revolution all over the world, while the last article reviews some of the most important recent books on the subject.* In 1976 we published a collection of essays.Although many original documents relating to the history of 1956 in Hungary have become public in the intervening time -especially regarding the reactions to the Revolution in Moscow and Washington -some of the studies in this collection might still be of interest, as should be the studies that appeared in our journal after 1976.Here is a list of both the 1976 compendium and the papers that we published later: Aczel, Tamas."Between the Awakening and the Explosion: Yogis and Commissars Reconsidered, 1953-1956."Ill, 2 (Fall, 1976), 107-114.Gollner, Andras B.
