A Social Bandit in Nineteeth Century Hungary: Rozsa Sandor

Shingo Minamizuka

Rozsa Sandor, the betyar (social bandit), played a pivotal role in the agrarian socialism that swept Hungary in the 1890s, demanding better working conditions and land tenure reforms. Drawing on the theoretical underpinnings of the significance of "social bandits," the author presents a compelling history of Hungarian social agrarian society.
