Reviews

The book is divided into four sections each dealing with a distinct area of concern. ... The scope of the material covered in this volume, and the rigour of the thought provoking chapters within, make this book an extremely welcome and valuable addition to the growing literature on history, memory and nostalgia. (Mike Chopra-Gant, Historical Journal of Film Radio and Television, 2016)
