[...] Overall, this is an extraordinary book in its depth and width of research, allowing for a comprehensive image of Baltic society and its theatre through an innovative lens of postcolonialism.
Carmen Levick in „Theaterforschung.de“ (Juni 2016)
[...] Benedikts Kalnačs’s monograph is one of the first groundbreaking steps in the long process of Baltic epistemic, cultural, and aesthetic decolonization, which will hopefully be followed by others in the near future.
Madina Tlostanova in „Baltic Worlds“ (10/2016)
[...] Benedikts Kalnačs’ impressive research into the social milieus and aesthetic contexts of the twentieth century Baltic states, along with an organized rendition of essential information with respect to the overtly stated aim of the volume, allow for a thorough analysis of the region’s rich history of ideological and cultural foreign occupation, as well as the long lasting consequences it entails.
