Irodalom

My datas show that each field had its own responsible, who wholly harmonized their activities for the sake of function.

The first part of the treatise shows an image of Baraca characterizing the life of folk life formed around junctions and from that it can be seen that the healthy proportioned articulation based on wealth caused a really successful economical -social co-operation. The village as a community formed a „rounded” whole, the levels of poorest and the richest, and the ones between them favourably complemented each other in the co-operation based on economy and work. The later depopulation in this period was denoted by only-childism in most of the families of the biggest landowners (which gave example). Families moved away from Baraca even in this time, but it didn’t take dangerous dimensions. Emigrating to America was established that it served only as a tool of rise, and most of the persons trying their fortune returned.

The second main section deals with the social -political interventions (from time memorial) which remodelled the village as a community and domiciliation. Among them the first was the appearance of Slovak families settled down in the waste around the village in 1920. As it became certain for me during the research, this phenomenon can not be estimated in the same way as the appearance of Hungarian families from Medvesalja. Analysing the register entries it unequivocally turned out that the village did not admit the Slovak families, but the Hungarian families could integrate. The reason of this dissimilarity was not necessarily the lack of mutual language, but the lifestyle of families from Medvesalja almost completely the same as the families’ in Baraca, so it could be familiar and could be estimated, whereas the Slovak families’ had absolutely different. There was 14 victims of the second World War from Baraca. Despite the fact that it meant human lives, in the community's point of view the translocation and the reslovakization proved greater shock. This was the first time when the village had the bitter experience of the fact that it could not be able to intervene to form its own fortune. The number of recollections of the subject has increased in the last 5 -10 years, but the story of one of my informants from Baraca on his family I think, has value as a source. Establishing the farmers' agricultural co-operative was the following outside intervention in 1953. In the previous years the community lost its self-confidence, but positively accepted the forming of the co-operative. The account for that may not only be the acquiescent attitude, but the farming was considered unsuccessful under a certain extend of land in Baraca. (This was emphasized during conversations about the aggregation of the village society by my informants, it is impossible to live within an „eighth".) After the initial resistance and difficulties, after about 4 years, the farming turned from ungainful to gainful. In this period the leaders of the co-operative emerged basicly from the the leading farmer class of the village. If the chairman wasn’t always the biggest farmer, the actual leaders were whose private farmings were also successful. The approximately two decades history of the co-operative can be designated as history of success. It can not be proved better than with the image of Baraca, its buildings show the face of the 1960s and 1970s. Apart from few homes, all of the houses were built in the time of the co-operation, all of them bear marks of the peculiarity ofthat period. Families also sensed the success of the farming, the material growing was not indicated unequivocally to the community by the extension of the domain, but the modernization of homes.

The abolishment of the co-operative in 1976 was the phenomenon what the community could not fit in its life and order. In the possession of the instruction of reslovakization the village which accepted quite well reached the state of doubtfulness (that way does not good, nor the other). In addition, almost at the same time the village was administratively annexed to Füge, was made it subordinate. I fortified the description of
