Abstract

ONL INE BO OK R E VIEWS e-33 In light of all this, Migration and Mobility in the Modern Age is a much welcomed and topical publication, as it eloquently examines the numerous forms of movement from and across Central, Eastern Europe and Russia from a historical perspective and within a transregional framework. The interdisciplinary and transnational character of the volume departs from single country studies and offers an invitation to discuss the region compar- atively and bring mobility in dialogue with similar phenomena elsewhere. In this sense, as well as many others, it succeeds admirably. ioana luca is an associate professor in the department of English at National Taiwan Normal University. She has authored articles on life writing, Eastern European exiles’ fiction and transnational American studies. Her most recent publication is Postsocialist Literatures in the US a co-edited (with Claudia Sadowski-Smith) special issue of Twentieth Century Literature.
