Changes in the Croatian village and the periodical Sociologija sela

Abstract
The periodical Sociologija sela has
been coming out continously for
thirty years, and we use this
occasion to publish its thirty-year
bibliography. This article is an
introduction to the bibliography and
in it two editors, a former editor and
the present editor, give a short
description of the changes and
phases in the development of the
Croatian village and private
agriculture in the past three
decades, as reconstructed through
texts published in Sociologija sela.
In that period the village went
through and survived the
disintegration of the agrarian society
(the fifties and sixties); after that it
established a new balance through
the increasingly varied and closer
relations with the town (seventies
and eighties); and finally (end of the
eighties and beginning of the
nineties) a new phase is starting in
the Croatian village: modern family
farms have begun to develop,
although they are still rare, new
forms of entrepreneurship are
emering and a more modern way of
using rural areas.
The war, witch was especially
merciless towards the village and
the rural population, dictates new
themes: destruction, crime, flight,
life in displacement, return,
renewal.
