List of interviewers and respondents. 330 $aIn 1949, Romania's fledgling communist regime unleashed a radical and brutal campaign to collectivize agriculture in this largely agrarian country, following the Soviet model. Peasants under Siege provides the first comprehensive look at the far-reaching social engineering process that ensued. Gail Kligman and Katherine Verdery examine how collectivization assaulted the very foundations of rural life, transforming village communities that were organized around kinship and status hierarchies into segments of large bureaucratic organizations, forged by the language of "class warfare" yet saturated with vindictive personal struggles. Collectivization not only overturned property relations, the authors argue, but was crucial in creating the Party-state that emerged, its mechanisms of rule, and the "new persons" that were its subjects. The book explores how ill-prepared cadres, themselves unconvinced of collectivization's promises, implemented technologies and pedagogies imported from the Soviet Union through actions that contributed to the excessive use of force, which Party leaders were often unable to control. In addition, the authors show how local responses to the Party's initiatives compelled the regime to modify its plans and negotiate outcomes. Drawing on archival documents, oral histories, and ethnographic data, Peasants under Siege sheds new light on collectivization in the Soviet era and on the complex tensions underlying and constraining political authority. 606 $aCollectivization of agriculture$zRomania$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAgriculture and state$zRomania$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aRomania$xPolitics and government$y1944-1989 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aCommunism. 610 $aCommunist Party. 610 $aEastern Europe. 610 $aMarxist?eninist principles. 610 $aParty cadres. 610 $aParty-state. 610 $aRomania. 610 $aRomanian villagers. 610 $aSecuritate cadres. 610 $aSoviet Union. 610 $aSoviet blueprint. 610 $aagrarian population. 610 $aagricultural collectivization. 610 $aassociations. 610 $abureaucratic apparatus. 610 $abureaucratization. 610 $acategories. 610 $achiaburs. 610 $aclass equality. 610 $aclass stratification. 610 $aclass war. 610 $aclass warfare. 610 $acollective farms. 610 $acollectives. 610 $acollectivization. 610 $acolonization. 610 $acommunist regime. 610 $aconsent. 610 $adenunciation. 610 $aecological adaptation. 610 $aeconomic adaptation. 610 $aethnic composition. 610 $aethnonational groups. 610 $agender roles. 610 $agenerational expectations. 610 $aindustrial development. 610 $aindustrial facilities. 610 $ainterwar fascist movement. 610 $akinship. 610 $aland ownership. 610 $aland reform. 610 $alocal politics. 610 $amodern state-making. 610 $anew social order. 610 $anew socialist person. 610 $apersonalistic ties. 610 $apersonhood. 610 $apersuasion work. 610 $apetition writing. 610 $apolitical authority. 610 $apolitical insurgents. 610 $apropaganda. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious composition. 610 $areplica regimes. 610 $arural life. 610 $asabotage. 610 $asocial conflict. 610 $asocial engineering. 610 $asocial mobility. 610 $asocial organization. 610 $asocial practices. 610 $asocial relations. 610 $asocial status. 610 $asocialist body politic. 610 $astatus inequality. 610 $auprisings. 610 $avillage life. 610 $avillage social organization. 610 $avillage status systems. 615 0$aCollectivization of agriculture$xHistory 615 0$aAgriculture and state$xHistory 676 $a338.1/849809045 700 $aKligman$b Gail$0513109 701 $aVerdery$b Katherine$0513110 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456801403321 996 $aPeasants under siege$9761040 997 $aUNINA
