Reviews
“An insightful analysis of a truly impressive array of literary, cinematic, archival, and ethnographic materials.”—Ted Swedenburg, coeditor of Displacement, Diaspora, and Geographies of Identity
“This rigorous and admirable study contributes to a new understanding of the discussion of nationalism vis a vis cultural production and politics. It is a model for the kind of work we need to see more of—engaged, erudite, considered, and full of historic detail and nuanced analysis.”—Caren Kaplan, author of Questions of Travel: Postmodern Discourses of Displacement
