Rezensionen

"Stefan Cristian Ionescu's book deals precisely with one of these developments in which intellectual, social, and material history became primarily enmeshed with the history of law. ... Ionescu's work offers an important exploratory inquiry into the daily life of Romanians, Jews, and Roma under the shadow of Holocaust. Through a well-documented and attentive analysis of the institutional, political, and sociological aspects of Romanianization, he enables us to clarify the limits of this project and its ultimate failure."
