Arguing that the little art colony ""has been largely overlooked as an important geosocial formation"" (9) within modernist studies, Geneva M. Gano here offers a sustained recompense for this absence with this excellent book.--Robert Thacker, St. Lawrence University ""Western American Literature"" Geneva Gano's account of literary modernism is one for our classrooms: richly situated in local history and global flows, and ever shadowed by racialized violence. [...] Like the best literary historical scholarship, this study plunges us into a past that is starkly other, but, at the same time, uncannily familiar, and thus confronts us with our own historicity.--Kathryn S. Roberts, University of Groningen ""American Literary History"" The Little Art Colony compellingly reveals how fundamentally modernist cosmopolitanism has relied as much on its cultivated retreats as on its metropolises. Thoughtfully analysing Carmel, Provincetown and Taos, Gano maps modernism's material participation not only in the culture industry but also in processes of settler colonialism, racial displacement and gentrification.-- ""Natalia Cecire, Senior Lecturer in English and American Studies, University of Sussex"" Well researched, compellingly argued, and lucidly written, The Little Art Colony and US Modernism adeptly speaks to readers across U.S. history, American literature, and modernist art history to urge serious reflection on the imbrication of place, culture, capitalism, and creativiry.--Emily Lutenski ""Pacific Historical Review""
