Approaches to the Study of Intercultural Transfer explores the intricacies and mechanisms of intercultural transfers.

'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.' - Alan Lessoff, University Professor of History, Illinois State University, USA

'Thomas Adam's new book provides us with a rich and stimulating collection of essays. The many different examples of crossnational and cross-Atlantic exchanges make the book interesting to a wide range of readers, while also serving as a model of how to design similar case studies. He argues convincingly that transfer did not make the world more homogeneous, but that it strengthened its diversity.' - Axel Krner, Professor of Modern History, and Director, UCL Centre for Transnational History, University College London
