Recensioner i media

“The book volume can definitely serve as a useful example for those who work around representation, public memory, and politics, whether on the Sixties in particular or not. … Screening the Sixties is an impressively elaborate exploration of ‘the Sixties as a commemorative palimpsest upon which divergent narratives have been written and rewritten throughout the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s’ … .” (J. Van Belle, Communications, Vol. 43 (01), 2018)
