"With critical acuity, Eurasian Encounters aims to broaden and redefine historiographical discourse to include--at center stage, from their own perspectives--those who have not yet occupied it. By redefining the nature of the cross-cultural encounter as a bi- (or multi-)lateral equation, the authors go a long way toward restoring balance. As such, their studies are not just re-examinations of the past, but also strategies for the future." - Loren Goodman, Yonsei University, Situations 10.2 (2017)

"As part of a growing body of work which approaches 20th-Century history in Europe and Asia from outside of traditional colonial and national frameworks, illuminating a world of cultural flows and translations, this volume would appeal to scholars and students of Eurasian history and cultural development, transnational networks, and colonial/post-colonial cultures. It would also provide a compelling and challenging read for anyone interested in the profound global political and social changes of the first half of the 20th Century." - Emily Sokes-Rees, Syracuse University, Asian Journal of Social Science 46 (2018)

"I accept their [the editor's] own verdict on the book: 'Taken together, the chapters in this volume illuminate new aspects of the history of cultural, artistic and religious mobilizations in modern Eurasia' (pp. 18—19). So I recommend this book as a contribution to the scholarly literature on European—Asian cultural interaction in an important period of modern history." - Colin Mackerras, Griffith University, Asian Studies Review (2018)
