Reviews

'Rachel Haworth’s monograph is the first substantial analysis of Mina’s career, and builds on her longstanding work on the singer. It considers the multiple facets of Mina’s star persona and the mechanisms of its construction over time, from her emergence in the late 1950s to the present. [...] Ultimately Haworth’s excellent book points forward to many more meanings of Mina, yet to be explored.' -- Catherine O’Rawe, Modern Italy
