Reviews

Alexandria M. Hill:

‘This is one of the most cohesive collection of essays I have ever read… The essays all speak to each other, not only through parenthetical references but by engaging with many of the recurring themes… The book does a favor to future scholarship by illuminating how enriching further investigation could be.’

B. W. Vetruba:

‘Illuminating and fully researched essays… Highly Recommended.’

Michelle Henning, School of Arts and Media, University of Brighton:

“Exhibiting the German Past is an important contribution to a developing field that situates museums in relation to audio-visual media. I found this to be a really valuable collection of interesting and informative essays. There are many highlights and the contributors all provide excellent insight into current research in this interdisciplinary field."
