@ceu-press.bsky.social is now on BlueSky! 🥳🥳🥳
This was such a pleasure to work on! Go and read @dacretu.bsky.social’s excellent book (after you listened to the podcast 😜).
Published today:
My long read of @karolinarogalska.bsky.social's new book Ziemie [Lands: Stories of Recovery and Loss]. It's a Polish book about the "Recovered Territories" and post-1945 displacement.
I poured all my love for the subject into this text. Enjoy!

It's Women's History Month. Because the offerings are so broad, I'm posting books, often about women & agender, by women in my field, HABSBURG Central Europe. Nope, not Germany! First, by Mo Healy, whose book from earlier this century has changed the field. Among the best books on World War I.
Wrote a short review of a book I thoroughly enjoyed! 🙏@anditalaber.bsky.social for a very smooth and professional editing experience, 🙏 @ceureviewofbooks.bsky.social for creating an aesthetically and conceptually fresh and appealing outlet for book reviews (and more) on Central and Eastern Europe.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the process! ☺️

Aww, thanks Nancy! ❤️

When good things happen to nice ppl: Ambika Natarajan's wonderful book, Servants of Culture Paternalism, Policing, and Identity Politics in Vienna, 1700-1914, has been shortlisted for the Waterloo Centre for German Studies Book Prize 2023.

New interview out on the @ceureviewofbooks.bsky.social site! Managing Editor, @anditalaber.bsky.social talked to Eva Taterová about her project exploring the role of Czechoslovak diplomacy in the Arab-Israeli conflict from 1948 to 1989. ceureviewofbooks.com/interview/in...
I got one of the bouquets! Also, František Palacký appears to be better looking than Gregor Mendel, but I suppose it's a matter of taste.
🎧 New podcast episode out now! Listen to Mariia Shuvalova, Kateryna Zarembo and Roman Horbyk as they discuss how Russian imperialism has impacted the study of Ukrainian history, literature and culture and contemplate the future of the field. Link here: ceureviewofbooks.com/podcast/what...

I know, sorry 😁
I just sent something really cool off that I cannot talk about yet, but I’m really super excited about! 🤐😫😅❤️ Stay tuned until the end of November.
Hans Kundnani’s Eurowhiteness (Hurst, 2023) provides a critique of the EU and what he claims is its rootedness in “imperial amnesia”. Ferenc Laczó writes that Kundnani’s focus on western Europe leads him to overlook today's Russian imperialism. Read it here: ceureviewofbooks.com/longread/the...
Still interested!
