Reviews

“Fuhg and Brown have written innovative studies that make a significant contribution to the existing historiography. They demonstrate that the spatial turn helps to enhance our understanding of the 1960s and, more broadly, of the conditions in which cultural innovation thrives. … both studies hold lessons for anyone who is interested in, and concerned about, the future of the creative arts in the climate of fiscal austerity and puritanical righteousness that … define our present. They deserve a wide readership.” (Jörg Arnold, German Historical Institute London Bulletin, Vol. 45 (1), May, 2023)
