Review in Gay and Lesbian Review:
“Michael Anesko has dedicated a prodigious amount of scholarship to produce an accessible, highly entertaining account of the 24 times that James sat for his portrait… This is a book for anyone interested in Henry James and cultural objects associated with him.”
Review in Journal of North African Studies:
“In three distinct sections, Frelier thoughtfully examines how these writers mobilize portrayals of transnational, transcultural, and transdiasporic kinship models respectively, and in doing so propose an alternative to rigid colonial models of the nuclear family.”
Review in The Jerusalem Post:
“The theme of Intimate Strangers is that from the beginning, Roman non-Jews recognized Roman Jews as familiar, as almost family members, but with the accent on the ‘almost.'”
Review in Jewish Book Council:
“His book is rich in detail, with comprehensive research drawn from biblical texts and papal decrees, inscriptions from the catacombs, medieval art, and folktales and poetry in Italian, Hebrew, and ’ebraico,’ the language of the Roman Jews.”
Review in Library Journal:
“A fascinating and readable history that’s essential for those interested in Jewish or Italian history.”
Review in Kirkus Reviews:
“Military historian Giangreco rejects the claim, by ‘revisionist historians,’ that ‘none of the options explored by President Truman and his contemporaries—atom bomb, invasion, or both—was warranted.'”
Women, Empires, and Body Politics at the United Nations, 1946-1975
Review in Women’s History Review:
“The book thus provides the historical backdrop for the development of the trope of the ‘Third World woman,’ outlined so skillfully by Chandra Talpade Mohanty in 1984.”
Review in Kate Michealson Blog:
“What I most appreciated was that it portrayed rural Midwesterners not as caricatures but as intelligent, complex individuals; in fact, what set the novel apart for me were the poignant insights into each character, particularly Alma and Milo.”
Review in The Epoch Times:
“This biography may focus some well-deserved and fresh attention on Curtis. A well-written study of one man’s life, it is both meticulously researched and a fascinating story, written in an engaging way. Shea is a worthy advocate of man deserving attention.”
Review in Kansas Public Radio:
“If you’ve lived in Kansas for very long, you’ve probably got at least one tornado story. And the grandaddy of all Kansas tornado stories is about the one that struck the small town of Udall, southeast of Wichita, in May of 1955. That tornado, the deadliest in Kansas history, killed 77 people.”
Review in Washington Independent Review of Books:
“…Terese Svoboda’s story is searing in its familiarity. Her dazzling prose electrifies the quotidian and makes both the familiar and unfamiliar trappings of grief feel catalytic.”
Review in Journal of Folklore Research Reviews:
“[Helgren’s] thorough, insightful analysis makes us think about the powerful impact of youth organizations on young women during changing times.”
Review in Journal of Folklore Research Review:
“For the general reader, there is much to commend this book, particularly its easily understandable and fascinating descriptions and explanations of scientific techniques and tools that decipher the long botanical history of the plains.”
Featured in Southern Review of Books:
“Morín challenges ideas about fatherhood, family, mental health, and drug abuse in this unflinching but compassionate memoir about growing up in South Texas.”
