Recenzje

'In this fascinating and well-researched study of non-Western expatriates in Paris between the wars, Michael Goebel combines meticulous social history with several broad claims about the significance of this experience … Anti-Imperial Metropolis is an excellent book that builds upon the work of scholars like Jennifer Boittin and Marilyn Levine to create a masterful portrait of a unique time and place … Michael Goebel crafts an engaging portrait of a diverse group of workers and intellectuals from many different shores who developed in Paris visions of their own nations and futures that would reshape the world in the mid-twentieth century. Anyone interested in the transnational history of the modern world will find this an intriguing and at times provocative study.' Tyler Stovall , H-Soz-u-Kult
