Trailblazers of the Press. American War Correspondents in Interwar Romania analyzes the portrayals
of Romania shaped by the American war cor- respondents’ who visited the country during the interwar
era. These representations illustrate the cultural and identity negotiation process between the
observers and the observed and among the many prevalent identities in this space. The historical
and political analysis of America’s stance towards Romania in the context of the world wars has
been thoroughly addressed in both the American and Romanian academia. This book emphasizes the
historical context of Romanian-American relationships and negotiations and the cultural, social,
gender and identity dimensions reflected in the American correspondents’ representations of
significant historical events, especially from 1939 to 1940, when they arrived in Romania in
considerable numbers.
