Creolizing the Modern

Transylvania across Empires

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"The book analyzes Transylvania's role in modernity and modernism in juxtaposition with coloniality and inter-imperiality. It does so through an interrogation of the main themes in Liviu Rebreanu's 1920 novel "Ion"--ranging from the land question and capitalist integration through antisemitism and Roma enslavement up to multilingualism, gender relations and religion"--
