Críticas

Skillfully researched and beautifully written, 'Sensational Internationalism' broadens the contours of American cultural and political memory by bringing to life the profound reverberations produced in the States by what was on one level just a very brief moment in someone else s history: the Paris Commune. Michelle Coghlan's stunning archive lends her account breadth and authority missing in those that would minimize those effects or limit them to a solely labor phenomenon. --Kristin Ross, New York University

In the wake of recent world-turning instances of public assembly and occupation from Cairo to St. Louis, the Paris Commune has once again declared its political urgency. Michelle Coghlan's remarkable and virtually unprecedented study methodologically rich, archivally vast, textually acute explores the Commune's U.S. afterlives, a longue durée of transatlantic feeling, with far-reaching and field-changing results. I've been waiting a long time for such a book. --Eric Lott, Graduate Center, City University of New York

Reseña del editor

WINNER of the 2017 Arthur Miller Institute First Book Prize! In refocusing attention on the Paris Commune as a key event in American political and cultural memory, Sensational Internationalism radically changes our understanding of the relationship between France and the United States in the long nineteenth century.
