«An original and fresh look at the urban history of Istanbul and particularly of Beyoglu.»
YILLIK: Annual of Istanbul Studies
«“Maessen’s original work shows how an allegedly cosmopolitan urban environment becomes a new, contested laboratory for the social and cultural production of space. Memories of late Ottoman pluralism and refractions of the Cold War, nation-building ethos and minorities’ right to the city: all embedded in a landscape whose legitimate “owners” are still being questioned.”»
Paolo Girardelli, Bogaziçi University, Turkey
"Enno Maessen provides a welcome addition to the growing literature on post-1945 urban history. In introducing us to the clubs, cinemas and international schools of a cosmopolitan Istanbul district he also sheds fresh light on European identities on the margins of the continent."
Moritz Föllmer, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
