The volume edited by Ludtke is as a highly stimulating and thought provoking contribution on everyday life under mass dictatorships. It succeeds in giving a new twist to the protracted historiographical debates on the agency of the `masses' ... . The volume thus reveals the intersections between the everyday life in the classic totalitarian regimes and in colonial/postcolonial settings. (Angel Alcalde, German Studies Review, Vol. 40 (2), May, 2016)
