Contents The face of land: peasants, property, and the land question -- Transylvania in the world-system: capitalist integration, peripheralization, antisemitism -- The longue durée of enslavement: extracting labor from Romani music -- Counting and Discounting languages: Transylvanian interglottism between Hugo Meltzl and Liviu Rebreanu -- The interimperial dowry plot: nationalism, women's labor, violence against women -- Feminist whims: women's education in an interimperial framework -- God is the new church: the ethnicization of religion
Summary "The book analyzes Transylvania's role in modernity and modernism in juxtaposition with coloniality and inter-imperiality. It does so through an interrogation of the main themes in Liviu Rebreanu's 1920 novel "Ion"--Ranging from the land question and capitalist integration through antisemitism and Roma enslavement up to multilingualism, gender relations and religion"-- Provided by publisher
