Industry Reviews

"This collection offers a practical introduction to the theory, methodology and implications of intercultural history. The book's well-researched, clearly argued case studies bring together a mass of material and references that will be much appreciated by researchers focused on social policy, philanthropy, cultural institutions and popular culture in transnational context."
