Michelle Panthere’s Reviews > Creolizing the Modern: Transylvania across Empires > Status Update

A very much needed and unveiling critical rereading of one of Romania’s most popular novels carrying the mythical image of the Romanian peasant, Ion by Liviu Rebreanu, but this time set in the context of interimperialism, colonialism and the creation of the national myth. A very important chapter on anti-roma racism and unpaid artistic work in Transilvania and the 500 years of Roma slavery in Moldova and Valahia.
