Reviews

Longlisted for the 2019 Kraszna-Krausz Best Moving Image Book Award!

"The seven chapters of the book are neatly organised. Each chapter is richly illustrated with colourful reproductions of the broad variety of visual material. [...] The daring research on meaning production through different media present in her book will certainly be taken into account when thinking about future digitalisation of archive collections."
- Marte Van Hassel, Université Libre de Bruxelles, TMG Journal for Media History, 22, 1 (2019)

"This book is valuable for several reasons, last but not least for its cutting-edge approach to the question of the representation of "national identity" from a visual and cultural angle."
- Annie van den Oever, University of Groningen / University of the Free State
