Summary/Abstract: This study includes two book-related debates which took place in 1987-1988, at the end of the second period of the Hungarian ethnographic book publishing in Romania (1948–1989), in well-defined historical, political and intellectual contexts, the years of socialism and communism. The book’s scientific and professional reception can be followed in the argumentative press articles, reviews and critiques. The debates around two key themes – folklorism and remembrance – raise awareness of the power of representation, and of the power and responsibility of institutions and socially positioned individuals.
