The August 2007 issue of CHOICE includes reviews of four UNP titles. Following are selected excerpts:

Fuzzy Fiction by Jean-Louis Hippolyte        Recommended
"Providing fascinating insights, this persuasive, thought-provoking book explains how authors have adapted to an ever-changing environment."

Riding Pretty by Renee M. Laegreid              Recommended
"Laegreid offers an interesting case study of how some women negotiated the boundaries of gender and sometimes even race within the mythic US West."

Boarding School Blues, edited by Clifford E. Trafzer, Jean A. Keller, and Lorene Sisquoc    

Highly recommended

"The strength of this book . . . is the intentional decision by many of the authors to escape the restrictive positive/negative dichotomy that has limited the interpretations of many others who have examined the history of American Indian boarding schools. As a result, readers can experience the areas of gray that students experienced, thereby learning to appreciate the complexity of boarding school life. . . . These brave students’ stories are a testament to their adaptability, tenacity, and love for their people."

The Niobrara by Paul A. Johnsgard    Recommended
