‘Well researched, theoretically sophisticated, and a welcome break from studies that focus on the Northern Hemisphere and its superpowers… Hosek’s study can be strongly recommended to those with an interest in identity formation in the German states of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.’ - John D. Pizer (German Studies Review; vol 36:03:2013) ‘Sun, Sex, and Socialism presents an ambitious and well-accomplished analysis of representations of revolutionary Cuba in German cultural production from the 1960s to the present… An important contribution to the literature on the connections between the island and the Eurasian bloc.’- Joao Felipe Goncalves (New West Indian Guide vol 88:2014) ‘The monograph is an excellent example of cultural critique that combines historical depth with analyses of a breadth of cultural artifacts to make a sophisticated and complex argument.’- Maria Stehle (Seminar, A Journal of Germanic Studies vol 51:01:2015)
