Desiring the USSR: Writers from Two Germanys in the Soviet Contact Zone Philip GleissnerReviews"""A visionary and necessary compendium of the multiple ways transnational migration and cultural patterns intersected in and around the Bolshevik Revolution. The 'migrant archive' under consideration here offers a diversity of displacement, not only from Moscow to Leningrad, but from Hollywood to China, from Berlin to Central Asia. With mobility at their center, these captivating chapters provide a breathtaking spectrum of incisive meditations on the way the movement of diverse bodies within networks of cultural exchange provoked not only ideological but also cultural and artistic patterns that inform leftist transnationalism to this day.""--Kate Baldwin, Professor of English and Communication Studies, Tulane University ""This is a brilliant collection of essays that uses migration to traverse multiple boundaries--for instance, between socialist internationalism and capitalist globalization, western and eastern Marxisms--as well as gender, generational, and racial divides. Together they transform our understanding of leftist aesthetics, opening our eyes to unfettered practices of political commitment and cross-disciplinary scholarship.""--Steven S. Lee, Associate Professor of English, University of California, Berkeley ""This volume makes a momentous contribution to the study of transnational mobility in the twentieth century. Sophisticated, wide-ranging, and inspirational, its scholarship reimagines leftist culture as an evolving swath of practices sustained by both conflict and solidarity, and often shaped by migration and exile. The intellectual currents nurturing this culture are here captured in their complexity, resisting a neat ideological attribution.""--Galin Tihanov, George Steiner Professor of Comparative Literature, Queen Mary University of London" ""A visionary and necessary compendium of the multiple ways transnational migration and cultural patterns intersected in and around the Bolshevik Revolution.
