Reviews
'Emphasizing the multipolar and transnational character of the voices that participated in defining what it meant to be German Romanian, this is an excellent rethinking of the modes of belonging and re-imagining that made up that history from the age of the Habsburg Monarchy through the present.' H. Glenn Penny, University of Iowa
'In this fascinating transnational history James Koranyi explores the complex twists and turns of Romanian German identity and memory, always asking who memory-making empowers and what significance claims about the past have for the present and future. An eye-opening insight into how minority groups are shaped by the past.' Roland Clarke, University of Liverpool
'James Koranyi's book is an empathetic, sophisticated and critical history of the Romanian German experience through the turbulent twentieth century. The many layers of the past are fused with contemporary historical and lived experience to reveal a tapestry of identities and understandings. It is a fascinating and stimulating read.' Jonathan Kwan, University of Nottingham
'... a welcome addition to the vast body of research on Central and Eastern European nationalities.' Oleksandra Krushynska, German Historical Institute London Bulletin
