"With Advancing a Different Modernism Mansbach, already recognized as one of the pre-eminent scholars of Central European modernism, moves the field in an exciting and stimulating direction, looking beyond the 'classics' of modernism and incorporating works of artists for whom the ideas and ideals of nationalism, and its role in modernism, were profoundly formative."- Samuel D.
